【NADIA振付 97作品目は.. ? 】"GABBAR" 振付を踊ろう。2026年最終ターム 〜 年末イベントも盛りだくさん ♪

こんにちは！ナディアです。

2011年にNADIA SCHOOLを立ち上げて15年。振付は毎回、新作を作り教え続けていますが、なんと、今回の作品で97作品目に達します！来年には 100に到達するね！ワクワク。

　　　

　

2005年、シンガポール移住をきっかけに、ベリーダンス活動を開始し、約20年もこの世界にいますが、教える・踊る・ショーに出る.. を、飽きることなく繰り返し、活動を楽しんでいます。

　

中でも、一番幸せな瞬間は、踊りたい曲に出会えた時です。ぎゅっと心を掴まれる感覚が嬉しくて、振付のイメージが一瞬で降りてきた時に幸せを感じるんですよ。

意外かもしれませんが、とても地味な引きこもり症なので笑、一人でスタジオに引き篭り、1日中、創作活動をやってられるし、15年でも20年でも、ずっと続けていたい。100作品を迎えても、このまま101、102、 200、 300 .... と続くのでしょう。

　

　

エネルギーの源は、音楽。
　　　　
踊っても踊っても、まだまだ素敵な音楽に出会い続けられる。知らない感覚に出会える。すぐに制覇できないのも沼ってしまうポイントだと思いますが、私の場合、ベリーダンスが、というより、アラブ音楽（とそこから派生したフュージョン）の世界観が惹きつけてやまないのだと思います。そこと繋がるために、ベリーダンスを踊っているんでしょうね、まるで片思いの恋人を追いかけるように。
　　　

皆さんはいかがですか？
よかったら教えてください。

　

--------- ✴︎　

　

さて。今月、シンガポールで開催される「Beyond The Silkroad 〜 シルクロードのその先に」おかげさまで、満員御礼いただいております。チケットを早々とご予約いただいた皆様、そして演者として、ミュージシャンとして、ご参加くださる皆様、イベントの立ち上げに関わってくださり、本当にありがとう。
　

今回の企画が好評でしたらば、次回は来年3月ごろに第二回を企画したいなと思っています。例えば、ミュージシャンに加えて、絵描きアーティストや、カリグラフィー、アラブの歌を披露いただけるシンガーなど、色々幅を広げていけないかなとも考えています。お知り合いに、そんな活動されている方がいらしたらぜひご紹介下さいね。

　

　

　

「BEYOND the SILKROAD  〜  シルクロードのその先に」

2026. 10.25. (sun) 14:00-17:00  (完売）

さて、 今タームは、2026年のラストタームになりますので、お見逃しなく！

課題曲は「GABBAR」を踊ります。

　

　

Gabbar（جبار / Jabbār）は、直訳すると「圧倒的な」(amazing) という意味を持つ言葉です。曲では、愛する男性の「優しさ」と「残酷さ」の両方が圧倒的にアメージングだ！というニュアンスで使われています。

　

この曲は1967年のアブデル・ハリーム・ハーフェス(Abdel Halim Hafez)の作品で、映画『Mabodet el-Gamahir』でも使われました。

　　

　

ものすごく素敵で、一度聞いたら耳から離れない中毒性のある音源だと私は感じています。アブデル・ハリームはやっぱり天才だね。20年も前にこの曲を初めて聴いた時は、自分が踊れるレベルではないと笑、と思ったものですが、先日の夏の東京アイララショーでなんだか急に踊りたくなって久しぶりに披露したところ、なかなか好評だった（ありがとうございます♪）ので、今回のタームでは、きちんと振付にして皆さんに教えたいなと思いました。

　

　

エジプトの音楽家、サイード・バラハ（Sayed Balaha）がベリーダンサー用にアレンジされた音源（ドラムソロなども入ってるかっこいいやつ♪）があるので、今タームではそちらを使用します。イントロからエンディングまで、とてもキャッチーな音源です。

　

　

今回の振付には、シルクベールを使用します。ご用意ください。

　

振付が完成したら、ショー用にLEDウィングに変えたり、仮面をつけてみたり、色々やってみるのも良いですね。

　

　

今タームも全8週間 (イベントに伴う休講日あり) で進めていきます。

　　　　　　

レッスンに関するお問い合わせは、ナディアまでDMでどうぞ！
　　
suenadia@gmail.com

　　

シンガポールでのハフラ企画が盛り上がる一方、東京での我々のホームイベント「TOKYO HAFLA」も、もちろん開催します。

全国・世界からご参加いただき、配信が見れるのもこの企画の醍醐味だね。早いもので第6回目になります。まだ告知も何もしていないのに、すでにチケットのご予約依頼が来ております笑。ありがとうございます！

今年もワイワイ盛り上がろうねー。

【NOTO PROJECT】★ TABI YOGAで能登を応援しよう！(Ishikawa Noto Peninsula Earthquake Emergency Relief Fund)

こんにちは！★ ナディアです。

来週からしばらく日本行きます！ シンガポールより暑いんだろうな？
　　

この夏、ナディアが過ごす日本の各地から「𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔」配信をしたいと思います。
ナディアの生まれ故郷である石川県金沢市から、少し北に上がった能登半島を久しぶりに訪れる予定。

ご承知の通り、令和６年に能登半島地震で被害に遭った地域です。豪雨など複合災害の発生なども重なり、復興が懸念されていることは報道で知られている通りですが、経済が少しでも回るよう、まずはここで夏を過ごして少しでもお金を落として？活気が戻る応援をしたいなと思っています。

★

さて。今回、宿泊する能登の海辺の素敵な宿から「𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔」を配信します。
約60分間のヨガクラスですが、早朝配信とし、身体を目覚めさせ、健やかに過ごせるように導きます。

普段は、𝐍𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄生へ向けた限定企画としている「𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔」ですが、
今回は、一般の方にも是非ご参加頂き、ほんの心づけで構いませんので、60分クラスを、ワンコイン¥500 ($5.00) からの募金をお願いしたいなと思いました。

「𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔」３つ出られる方は ¥1500 ($15.00) です。ヨガ出れないけれど募金の参加してもいいよって方は、良かったら¥1500ください笑。DMで教えてください。

クラファンでもない、ふるさと納税？でもない、本当に小さな募金箱と言った感じですが、せっかく、ナディアが能登半島へ足を運ぶので、集まった金額の全額を日本赤十字社を通して令和6年能登半島地震災害義援金へ募金したいと思います。

重要なのは「そこへ向けた気持ち・忘れていないよの意思表示」だと思うのです。

𝐍𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄メンバーも、そうでない方も、ぜひご参加、ご協力をお願いいたします。
ナディアの日本旅は、石川県の能登半島からスタートし、東京、白山の３つのエリアから 「𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜 𝗬𝗢𝗚𝗔」を配信します。





ポジティブで明るいエネルギーをお渡ししますので、ぜひ、受け取ってください。
ヨガの前後で、ZOOMトークもしましょう！　

参加希望者はDMで教えてね

TABI YOGA - for NOTO PROJECT

(Ishikawa Noto Peninsula Earthquake Emergency Relief Fund)

We will donate the full amount to the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake Disaster Relief Fund through the Japanese Red Cross Society.

【HAFLA in SINGAPORE – Performer Applications Open!】New term: Haifa Wehbe medley • "TABI YOGA for Noto" charity project • Upcoming events & more...

Hello everyone,

This is Nadia, a Japanese belly dancer based in Singapore.

As always, thank you so much for taking the time to read my rather long newsletter.
And just to clarify—despite the times—we're living in, I still write every word myself, not AI! 😄

★

First of all, some exciting news!

With the hope of igniting a blazing new spark in Singapore's entertainment scene, I've decided to launch a brand-new event this autumn.

The title is...

"BEYOND the SILKROAD – Where East Meets the Mystique of the Orient "

We have always been captivated by the mysterious allure of the lands beyond the Silk Road. The enchanting sounds of the maqam, the rhythms that seem to travel across endless deserts, and the magic of belly dance have cast a spell on us—one that, even after many years, has never faded. We continue to dance, still under that spell.

As we dream of the exotic world that lies beyond the Silk Road, I came to realize something after making countless journeys to "the other side." Seen from there, this side of the Silk Road—the Far East of Asia—is every bit as mysterious, exotic, and beautiful.

Singapore, where diverse cultures from around the world come together, is a vibrant melting pot of people and traditions. While it may not possess the centuries-old history of Istanbul, it has its own unique tropical energy and youthful spirit. Among its most fascinating neighborhoods is the Arab Street–Haji Lane district, always alive with locals who are passionate about music and fashion, as well as travelers from around the globe. If I were to compare it to Tokyo, it has the creative atmosphere of Harajuku blended with the nightlife energy of Roppongi.

At the very heart of this cultural hub stands Blu Jaz, a legendary jazz bar that has remained one of Singapore's most beloved live music venues for over three decades. Since the 1990s, it has continuously attracted audiences and artists alike without ever losing its place at the forefront of the city's live entertainment scene.

And it is here—at this iconic venue—that we are thrilled to present our new event.

　

For a long time, I have envisioned creating an event that brings together two worlds: our longing for the mysterious lands beyond the Silk Road, and the refined beauty of the Far East as seen from the other side. A celebration where these two perspectives meet and blend into one.

This autumn of 2026 marks the beginning of that vision. My hope is for BEYOND the SILKROAD to grow into an ongoing series, evolving year after year.

Beyond its artistic concept, however, this event carries a deeper wish. Beyond the Silk Road lie regions that have long been marked by conflict, division, and war. Through dance, I hope to offer a small prayer for peace—that the beauty of art may remind us of our shared humanity, inspire compassion, and encourage us to look toward a more peaceful future together.

With this intention in mind, our dress code will be white. We warmly invite every guest to wear white, so that together we can transform the venue into one harmonious space, united not only by dance, but by a shared hope for peace.

Mark your calendar now: Sunday, October 25, 2:00 PM!
And perhaps it's time to check your closet for something white. 🤍

Let us create something truly unforgettable together.

A stage unlike anything you've seen before—where the passionate rhythms born of the desert meet the delicate elegance of the Far East, woven together into a single, sophisticated artistic expression.

BEYOND the SILKROAD is more than a performance.

It is a journey.
It is a dialogue between cultures.
It is our prayer for peace.

　　

Performer applications for BEYOND the SILKROAD will open on August 1st.

Further details regarding the application process will be shared separately with members of the current term.

To all NADIA ONLINE and NADIA STUDIO members—it's time to start getting ready! Begin preparing now, because we can't wait to see you shine on stage.

Now, I'd like to share something close to my heart.

This summer, I'll be broadcasting TABI YOGA from different locations across Japan.

One of those places is the Noto Peninsula, just north of my hometown of Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture. It has been quite some time since my last visit. As many of you know, this region was devastated by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Although recovery efforts continue, rebuilding has progressed more slowly than many had hoped.

There isn't much I can do on my own, but I wanted to spend part of my summer there, support the local community in the simplest way I can, and contribute to the local economy—even if only in a small way.

This time, I'll be hosting TABI YOGA from a beautiful seaside inn in Noto.

The class will be approximately 60 minutes, streamed in the early morning to gently awaken your body and help you begin the day feeling refreshed and energized.

Normally, TABI YOGA is offered as a complimentary benefit for NADIA ONLINE members. This time, however, I would like to invite everyone to join with a small donation, starting from ¥500 (approximately US$5 / SGD 5) for one class. If you plan to join all three sessions, the suggested donation is ¥1,500.

And if you aren't able to attend the yoga classes but would still like to support this cause, I would be deeply grateful for a donation of ¥1,500 as well. Simply send me a DM.

This isn't a crowdfunding campaign, nor is it a tax-deductible donation program. It's simply an opportunity to turn our practice into something meaningful.

Every yen collected will be donated in full through the Japanese Red Cross Society to support relief and recovery efforts following the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.

The amount itself doesn't matter.

What matters most is the message behind it—that we remember, that we care, and that the people of Noto are not forgotten.

Whether you're a member of NADIA ONLINE or not, I warmly invite you to join us and be part of this small act of kindness.

During the first half of August, TABI YOGA will be streamed from three beautiful locations—Noto, Tokyo, and Hakusan. From each place, I'll be sharing the positive energy, peaceful scenery, and inspiration that each destination has to offer.

I hope you'll join me, receive that energy, and start your day together with us.

And of course... let's enjoy chatting together on Zoom before and after each class!

And now… finally, the main announcement! 😄
(Thank you for making it all the way through this very long newsletter!)

This Term's Choreography Project

The time has come to reveal our new choreography!

During the first half of 2026, we've taken on some wonderfully challenging pieces—CURFEW, MATSURI, OUYOUN BAHEYA, and more. They demanded strong technique, emotional depth, and plenty of energy.

So this time, I thought it might be nice to take a little "breather" (if I may say so! 😊) and dance something joyful, lighthearted, and full of positive energy.

I've chosen an Arabian Pop medley that's suitable even for beginners.

Our music will combine two songs by the Lebanese superstar Haifa Wehbe: her brand-new 2026 release "Badna Nroue" and her iconic 2006 hit "El Wawa." I'll be editing them into a single performance piece of approximately four minutes.

It's amazing how naturally these songs blend together despite being released twenty years apart. Haifa's voice is as captivating as ever, and the combination feels fresh, vibrant, and incredibly fun. I have to admit... I'm already getting excited while choreographing it! 😄

I'm also secretly hoping we'll have many opportunities to perform this piece together—at our Singapore Hafla this autumn, various upcoming events, and TOKYO HAFLA this winter.

And yes... I've already started imagining the costumes! ✨

Of course, many of you are probably wondering what Haifa is actually singing about. If you know Haifa, you'll know that she occasionally slips in some rather bold or cheeky lyrics! 😄 That's why I've once again invited Mr. Ehab to give us a special session explaining the song lyrics.

Lyrics Workshop
Wednesday, August 12 (Evening)

I highly encourage everyone to join. Understanding the lyrics always makes dancing more enjoyable—and a little safer, too! 😉

This term will run for eight weeks (with a short break during the Obon holidays).

Because this is an Arabian Pop choreography, the movements are relatively accessible, making it a wonderful opportunity for beginners as well.

If you'd like more information about the classes, please feel free to send me a DM anytime.

I can't wait to dance this fun new piece with all of you!

The "BADNA NROUE & EL WAWA" Lyrics Workshop will also be available as an archived recording, so if you're unable to attend live, you can watch it at your convenience.

The recording will remain available for one month after the workshop.

Please find the schedule below.

One of the wonderful benefits of NADIA ONLINE is that you also enjoy unlimited access to our yoga classes.

Are you thinking...

"Isn't yoga only for people who are already flexible?"

Not at all.

In fact, it's exactly the opposite.

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever experienced muscle cramps, sprained an ankle, sore knees or lower back, or a stiff neck that just won't turn?

It may be a little uncomfortable to hear, but the truth is that we're all getting older every day. And while belly dance may look effortless, it actually requires considerable strength, endurance, and control.

To keep dancing for many years to come, we need to take care of our bodies.

That's why yoga has become an essential part of my own daily practice—not only to improve flexibility and beauty, but also to help prevent injuries and maintain a healthy, resilient body.

Today, I'd like to introduce a few of the poses I practice regularly.

This time, rather than focusing only on beauty, I'd like to share them from the perspective of building a body that stays strong, balanced, and injury-free.

Nadia's Top 5 Recommended Yoga Poses

① Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose)

Recommended for:

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Leg cramps

• Poor circulation

• Cold feet and hands

• Swelling (water retention)

Because this pose gently opens both the upper and lower body at the same time, it encourages circulation throughout the entire body, making it one of my favorite all-around poses for improving mobility and restoring balance.

By clasping your hands behind your back, Gomukhasana gently stretches the muscles surrounding the shoulder blades—including the trapezius and subscapularis—while opening the chest.

This helps counteract rounded shoulders and poor posture, reducing unnecessary tension in the neck and upper back.

The seated position, with the knees deeply stacked, also provides an intensive stretch for the deep muscles around the hips—particularly the piriformis and surrounding hip rotators.

As circulation and lymphatic flow to the lower body improve, this pose can help relieve cold feet, swelling, muscle cramps, and fatigue in the legs, while promoting greater mobility and overall comfort.

② Cat–Cow Pose (Marjaryasana–Bitilasana)

Recommended for:

• Lower back pain

• Pelvic alignment

• Spinal mobility

The Cat–Cow Pose is performed on all fours, gently alternating between rounding and arching the spine.

This flowing movement releases tension throughout the spine and the muscles surrounding the pelvis, improving spinal flexibility and encouraging healthy pelvic alignment.

It's an excellent pose for relieving stiffness in the lower back, restoring mobility after long hours of sitting, and maintaining a strong, healthy spine—especially for dancers who rely on fluid movement and core stability.

③ Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)

Recommended for:

• Knee discomfort

• Weak leg muscles

• Lower-body stability

Warrior II is an excellent pose for strengthening the quadriceps (front thigh muscles), which play a vital role in supporting and stabilizing the knee joints.

As you hold the posture, focus on keeping your front knee directly above your ankle, making sure it does not move forward past your toes. Proper alignment helps protect the knee while building strength safely.

Regular practice of Warrior II improves leg strength, balance, and endurance, creating a solid foundation for healthy movement—an essential quality for belly dancers and anyone who wants to move with confidence and prevent injury.

④ Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana)

Recommended for:

• Neck and shoulder tension

• Mild stiff neck ("sleeping wrong")

• Relaxation and stress relief

Puppy Pose is a gentle yet deeply effective stretch that releases tension in the neck, shoulders, chest, and upper back while helping the shoulder blades return to their natural alignment.

This posture also encourages relaxation by calming the nervous system and creating a sense of openness throughout the upper body.

With the head resting slightly lower than the heart, blood flow to the brain is gently increased. At the same time, the spine is lengthened and tension is released, which may help reduce stress, improve sleep quality, ease mental fatigue, and promote overall recovery.

Note: If you have a serious neck injury or acute pain, it's best to consult a healthcare professional before practicing this pose.

⑤ Toe Mobility Exercises (Yoga Warm-Up)

Recommended for:

• Leg cramps

• Cold feet and poor circulation

• Swollen feet and ankles

• Better posture and balance

• Easier, more comfortable walking

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve circulation is by gently moving the toes—the part of the body farthest from the heart.

Activating the toes encourages blood to flow through even the smallest capillaries in the feet, creating a pleasant feeling of warmth while improving circulation throughout the lower legs.

It also helps release stiffness in the ankles and the tops of the feet, allowing excess fluid to drain more efficiently and reducing swelling.

Toe mobility exercises are commonly practiced as a yoga warm-up because they produce immediate benefits while preparing the feet and ankles for movement.

From the perspective of Traditional Eastern Medicine, many important meridians (energy pathways) begin or end at the toes. By stimulating these points, circulation throughout the entire body is believed to improve, helping restore balance, vitality, and overall well-being.

Think of yoga as prevention, not treatment.

Always stop just before the point where a stretch becomes painful. A gentle "feel-good" stretch is enough—there is no need to push beyond your limits. The goal is to care for your body, not to strain it.

If you've recently suffered an injury, such as an ankle sprain, or you're experiencing acute pain—such as a neck that can barely move—please skip yoga and allow your body to rest until you've recovered.

The word "Beauty" in Beauty Yoga represents something beyond appearance. True beauty begins with good health.

If your body is stiff, your mind is tense, and you're forcing yourself to dance while ignoring pain, the purpose of movement is lost.

I hope our yoga sessions at NADIA ONLINE become a place where you simply allow your body to soften—to let go, rather than push harder.

Light your favorite scented candle, settle into a comfortable space, and join us on Zoom in a relaxed state of mind.

If you're new to yoga, I highly recommend our Wednesday evening class.

During this gentle 90-minute session, we'll focus on mindful movement and lymphatic flow. You may even wake up on Thursday morning to find your face looking noticeably more refreshed and less puffy—and perhaps you'll smile a little more when you see yourself in the mirror.

I'd love for you to experience it for yourself.

Come and give it a try. 🤍
