More Than Steps Podcast

A podcast from

Heather Wayman & Nadira Jamal at Belly Dance Geek®

Most instruction is about feeding you moves and choreography to copy.
We focus on how the dance works, so you can create it for yourself.

In More Than Steps, we geek out on everything but the steps.

And speaking of steps, Nadira records her podcasts as she walks to the coffee shop in the morning, so you can hear the sounds of her neighborhood, just like we were going out for coffee together.  Heather records hers with her crazy greyhound, Tank listening in.  So you might hear some greyhound snoring (he sleeps…a LOT!).

Check out our episodes below.

New episodes come out every other Tuesday (more or less). You can stream or download episodes below.
You can also subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and TuneIn.
