Dear Dancer,

Let’s pause and reflect. These past weeks 1–4, you began your journey. We set our intentions, explored movement, and began sketching the first lines of your solo. You’ve planted seeds of myth, story, and movement — and already, your piece has begun to take shape.

This week is about slowing down and catching up. Give yourself permission to review, revisit, and breathe. Take time to reflect on the pieces of your solo that have started to surface. Imagine your dance as if it were written into a book—what story would the pages tell? What emotions would spill through the lines?

Prepare to step into Meher’s Master Class with openness and curiosity. Her work will give you new textures and perspectives to layer into your creation.

Practice Plan Suggestion: Film a short piece of your solo-in-progress, no matter how unfinished. Write about it as though describing a character in a story.

Use the Mindful Belly Dance breathwork that Alexandra goes over in the weekly letter video to ground and prepare you for your creative process.
