[teentitans08]

I really enjoy your videos! Of all the belly dance videos I've watched on here so far, these have helped me the most. I love the amount of time you spend on each move. It helps me understand it better :) Thanks!

I've looked at a few videos, but yours gives the best explanation and has prompted me to try it. When your 'squeezing up' , are we squeezing our bum cheeks on the up movement? On the down movement, are you just raising and dropping without squeezing?

[ReplicateSuccess]

I'm Jealous...lol

[ThePrettyPrincess3]

It's funny when you say down down up up!

[Queenishtar777]

Hilarious I'm sure!?

[ThePrettyPrincess3]

I know, right!? =)

[AM2M]

This is such a good video and it will give you a bit of a workout. Thanks for posting it (^_^)

[Queenishtar777]

No its a robot called Serena who I have programed to do all my voice overs in her sexy almost human voice!

[nixie1986]

what's the name of the music that is playing? i'm looking for some belly dancing music. please.

[deppaaah]

ehm well i dont really know much about it

but maybe you should try genta ismajli's music ^^ just typ her name in the search bar all you'll see

[orodemniades]

This is a super nice example of how to do drops and lifts, and it's a great wee drill to install the muscle memory for the beginner.

[Vilivil]

It is awesome! Thank U a lot. See I hate the borring exercises, so i thought belly dancing is exactly what i need. :D

[shakaama]

oh nice video thank you for this.

i wish you could redo it, and show multiple camera angles [ front and side ]

also you should redo it, because belly dancing is now a popular form, for low impact exercise.

this seems very authentic.

[Queenishtar777]

Hi, That is kind of you! Practise in a mirror, tell your body what you want it to do, in the end , with lots of repetition it will obey!

Blessings,

Ishtar x

Queen: Thanks for the vid. Being an aspiring dancer, I'm always looking for any lessons I can find. One question: When you put your weight on a foot, the opposite hip goes up?

Thanks again, you are beautiful

[Queenishtar777]

How sweet ! Thank you. That is correct. keep up the good work and you will soon be belly dancing with ease.

Take care, Ishtar x

[falastinicoor]

[Notawesomeatall7]

UGH. I am still have so much trouble with this. I just began, well today. I am very heavy set but this video has inspired me. I am have much trouble isolating my hips and I mu upper torso quite a bit, mainly my shoulders, is that normal? Will it even perhaps take me even a few weeks to perfect this? Thank you and this is a wonderful vid.

[Queenishtar777]

belly dance is harder than it looks, every one will find it a challenge initially. Practise make perfect. The mind/body/soul results of belly dance are well worth the effort.

Thanks for your positive comments,

Ishtar x
