Ep.7 Why Does Performing as a Belly Dancer Tend to Be Financially Strenuous? How Can We Improve the Situation?

Today, I’d love to talk about a theme very close to my heart: why does performing as a belly dancer tend to be financially strenuous? How can we improve the situation?　A little bit of background first. I have been performing belly dance professionally since 2016, and teaching belly dancing since 2014. In Tokyo, I did this in addition to a day job. Then in 2023, I relocated to a semi-rural area in the US. Since then, I’ve been performing more in community and volunteer settings. Therefore, my experience as a professional performer is skewed towards Tokyo. I believe, though, that there must be common grounds between different dance genres and regions.Please find more details on my blog.　https://rakssharqui.blogspot.com/2024/05/bilingual-post-podcast-ep7-why-does.htmlI’d be delighted if you write a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
