Today we’d like to introduce you to Helen Blondel. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Helen Blondel, known as helensingerdancer on TikTok & Instagram, got her name from combining her love for singing and belly dancing throughout her artistic career. As a dancer, she has appeared on televised programs such as “Despierta America” and “Sabado Gigante” on Univision as well as music videos for Fat Joe, Bacilos, and more. As a singer, Helen has done backup vocals for several artists, including Shaggy and Olivia Holt. She also released her own self-written singles on major music platforms, her most recent single “Feelings,” just released in 2021. She is the author of Belly Dance Business 101.
Although Helen has been performing her whole life, Helen’s social media following skyrocketed to 300k on TikTok within the past year. Her videos consistently go viral, particularly those that share a comedic twist on real-life issues she faces.
On top of performing and her social media presence, Helen teaches group and solo belly dance classes, both in-person and online. She also has an online fundamental course formulated for beginners looking to start their journey in belly dance and it can be accessed here: https://bellypop.thinkific.com/courses/intro-to-belly-dance
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Absolutely not. I’ve faced many challenges as an artist. Sometimes with auditions not going as planned or and getting doors slammed in my face (figuratively, of course) for opportunities. After trying time after time after time, it gets exhausting. But one thing I learned is to never give up, no matter what. That is the secret. Keep going no matter what struggles come your way,
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a professional belly dancer and published recording artist. Aside from my presence on TikTok and Instagram, and I also have songs on Spotify, iTunes, & other platforms that show a bit of my personal life through the lyrics. For those wishing to take their art to the professional level, my book “Belly Dance Business 101,” talks about how to move forward with that. Sidenote— writing a book is so rewarding. I’ve been dancing and singing since childhood– but writing? Writing a book and publishing it was a whole new territory for me. I felt like giving up at a point, but I’m so glad I didn’t.
Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
My absolute favorite book, by far, is “How Successful People Think” by John C. Maxwell. This book helped me unlearn the bad habits that were keeping me from being my best and provided new ways of thinking and doing things to do better in my career & life. I’m also a big fan of Gary Vee. He teaches that a big part of success is mindset and perspective– which is totally the truth.
