Dance Chat with Aubre Hill & Maria

Dance Chat with Aubre Hill: Episode 5 – Maria Sokolova

Los Angeles dance teacher, performer, and scholar Aubre Hill is now hosting a series of interviews on YouTube.  Dance Chat with Aubre Hill: Episode #5 features the amazing Maria Sokolova who, quite literally, teaches right down the street from my home. She’s a mesmerizing dancer to watch and I recommend catching a performance with Maria any chance you get.  Find out more about Maria on her website and be sure to follow her on Instagram for great belly dance content!

Dance Chat with Aubre Hill

When I heard that Aubre Hill was launching an interview series on YouTube, I immediately headed over to check them out. I have watched the first five issues and have enjoyed them all. I highly recommend giving this series a watch.  As of the writing of this blog post, you can catch conversations with illustrious dancers including:

LA Raqs Reboot

Aubre Hill has also taken a lead role in rebooting the LA Raqs website.  This is a great resource for anyone who lives, works, performs, and studies dance in the greater Los Angeles and Southern California regions. From San Diego to Santa Barbara and beyond, you can find event and class listings, informative articles, links to performance videos, and more.  Visit the site and be sure to sign up for their newsletter. http://www.laraqs.com/

Aubre Hill

I am a huge fan of Aubre Hill and recommend taking the opportunity to study with her if you can.  You can find out more about her classes, events, and research on her website. I follow Aubre on her Facebook feed and on Instagram to enjoy following her adventures in dance.  Her troupe, The Qabila Foundation is also a joy to watch so be sure to look for them on your favorite social media platform.

I hope that you enjoy these talks with Aubre.  When you click through to YouTube to watch Maria and the rest of her Dance Chats, be sure to like and subscribe.  Leaving a message below a video helps the YouTube algorithm. If you like and admire Aubre, take a moment to leave a comment or drop an emoji to give her a boost and help her channel grow.

Enjoy this great dance content!
