When you are feeling sluggish or want a fun creative challenge, grab the magic purple velvet drawstring bag, shuffle the deck, draw some choreo cards from Melina’s deck and get inspired to move!
Melina created this card deck in 2020 during lockdown to make space for movement & imaginative play. Sometimes it takes a game or a little challenge to draw you out into the dance floor - even if it’s just in your kitchen.
Just the idea of taking out the deck and pulling a card gets you off the couch and moving! Combining the cards inspires you to create pathways outside of your usual repertoire. You can even use them at parties to challenge folks who have never belly danced before to just make stuff up and have fun in a positive group setting.
Melina leads belly dance workshops and retreats with the cards and will be teaching from them this month in studio. More online offerings will be coming this summer.
There are so many ways to play with Melina’s choreo card deck.
The deck, which comes in a purple velvet drawstring bag on gorgeous glossy card stock - is available for purchase online through her studio website: Moody Street Circus
Melina commissioned the gorgeous original artwork for the back of the cards from artist Mariana Cabral. Find her on Instagram @marianacabralart and on YouTube at: Mariana Cabral Art
