[AUnicornProductions]

MUAHAHA! Now with these moves, ill soon be looking like Shakira! xD

Ha... yeah, in my dreams...

[1995sexxi]

the boringness of her makes me not want to try and even learn haha

[KareenChio]

Where she from ?

[samila169]

[annabia021]

Os braõos estão horríveis. Parece muito tribal e menos dança do ventre. Além disso, ela sabe a técnica, mas ela dançando não é muito bom! Para dançar ela deveria se manter no eixo!!!

The arms are horrible... too much tribal, not bellydance... Besides she know the technique but dancing... not good at all!

[faithoffaith]

looks easier then doing it lol

[tenderheart17]

@faithoffaith Just takes practice...you'll get there ; )

[naniwo1234]

i can do it better than her!!

[Prissyaguilar]

Very well done and explained. Thank you!

[Minyaa82]

thats very good.. I didnt know how to do that. the hardest thing is its like i put too much pressure on my knees/legs ( if i make sense)

When i do belly dance my tummy starts to hurt....-.- what can i do to stop that or to ease that... ? O.O

[sihinta]

@Minyaa82

Maybe try to warm up with stretches and light cardio before practising belly dancing?

And don't be too hard on your hips?? =)

[Mrsmonife]

@Minyaa82

haha thats normal my tummy hurts too thats just ur muscels aching :)) İt will go away with time dont worry :)

[TheCierra66]

Respond to this video... dat seems real hard i luv bellydancing its awesome:)

[redridinghood23]

Your upper body is not supposed to move when doing the 8. Your shoulders are supposed to stay upright and not move.

[touchofclass]

i can't reverse it :( it looks wrong to me

[anamariajm]

awful

[desany18]

very easy to follow instruccions. now i see it clearly.

[Icemelle]

her belly aint tht flat hehehehehe but great belly dancing

[Minyaa82]

@Icemelle her belly doesnt have to be flat, it can be a little curvy...

[laZOETje]

very nice breakdown of moves

[AkaOniRai]

This is also called the Maya.

personally i thought it was one of the easiest moves in Bellydance...

But, hey, that's just my opinion:p

[ShAwTy079]

The flabs get in the way sorry :/

[mommabear1904]

she looks like akasha from queen of the damned when she does that :)

[iluvrock235]

Why even argue through comments? That's pathetic. You must have some reason to watch this video... And if you want to criticize it, you should have stopped watching it. These people actually take time to make these videos to educate people on how to do simple belly dance moves, and you should appreciate that, don't be acting so rude.

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

I bet you don't even know the actual name of these movements. And I'm not talking about "figure 8" these movements have actual names.

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

Damn cry babies. You can't learn belly dance on YT or anything else. Just because I tell you this and I assume I am of higher skill and knowledge in belly dance than you. And please fucking prove it if you are. I seem to only correct things when I come here. Any more flames? Please. :)

[Flavialejandraful7]

Wow.....the perfect body to dance belly dance.

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

Frick'n beginners... Ive been dancing since 2004. About 6 years... Some reason now everyone wants to be a belly dancer. If your interested in becoming a decent dancer you need SESSIONS and workshops and lots of hard work. Videos will get you no where. On a more positive note no one picks it up right away. Movements take practice. It will eventually come to you.

[TheMzSexalicious]

LOL u dick, get over yourself, think ur some mad belly dancer, talking yourself up, Belly dancing goes WAY back, back to the arabics...

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

Arabics? Obviously you have no idea what your talking about. Correction on spelling. Arabs... And It's not certain on where exactly it came from. Most seem to agree nailing it down to the Egyptians.

[TheMzSexalicious]

I know belly dancing goes back more than 6 years you moron. Get over yourself,  belly dancing is 100's of years old. Fuck man, you have no idea.

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

Obviously you haven't a clue on it's history. Maybe you should study before you come back and try to argue with me.

[minisheyonce2]

Wow, 2004? Okay, so how old is bellydance?

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

Much older than anyone on this earth. Possibly to the ancient Egyptians. So I can't tell you I been belly dancing since it was created. No one can. So that is irrelevant. Why ask the question?

[KUKAKYOTOTOKYO]

Her snake arms are wrong...

[canicole20]

Aww Dont give up.Your man will looovve you if you learn how to do this.Climb on top and straddle him(no panties).Do this number right here,and flex your Kegel muscles at the same time.....I promise you that he will turn mildly retarded for at least 40 seconds :-).Im speaking from experience :-)

[jessica39961]

Luv your voice

[Serenity137]

Thanx babe^_^

[Xijuan]

very helpful...just..it is hard

[wolala]

Thank you :)

[ednrocha]

[jujubinhalindinha010]

que barriguda

[Mscaramel0788]

I can do this one. Its easy for me.

[sugarainbow]

yea~~She make it easier to learn~~

[TheDAMIAN1231]

IM SWEATINGGGGGGGGGGGGG BULLETS

[claramiranda14]

dança nao pode se aprender com um video,voce precisa procurar um profissional pessoalmente.esse movimento é o mais basico e facil de todos,mas exige um profissional a sua desposiçao,é o que eu recomendo.

[diamond50247]

fantástico ---lindo

[KibaMonster]

im glad this vid is up. Ive been taking classes and have trouble with this one. and i think the vid is for people who already know a little belly dance and thats why its only a minute. so please stop flaming eachother. and thanks for the vid ^_^

[KibaMonster]

and also...of course she doesnt have a belly. Belly dancing burns lots of cals and you lose weight fast and get lots of muscle if you do it. My belly dance teacher has to keep her weight up so we can see how it works the belly and she can teach us properly

[DiieLiieke]

She doesn't even have a belly?

[strazoo27]

Is that a woman or man? Or both?

[Doughnuts009]

LMFAO

[UGirlPebbles]

sahe make this very ez good job

[jazmindelpais]

She is like a snake, i must lost 20 pounds before try that !!!

[touchofclass]

@jazmindelpais absolutely not. Belly dancing is a chance to channel your inner beauty no matter what size you are!

[jazmindelpais]

@touchofclass Thanks a lot !!!

[MoonlightPlaylist]

@jazmindelpais What? Do it anyway!! :D

[1616RAWR]

@jazmindelpais It has nothing to do with your size, I promise - I'm 125 lbs. and have trouble with this. My belly dance instructor says that at first you will usually have a very small range of motion (you won't go up, out, or in very far), but the more you practice, the easier it gets and the better it looks. Just keep working, girls!!!

P.S. You'll probably lose that wieght by dancing, too. ;)

[alonenstrong]

you don't have to lose wait to look good dancing if fact I think she looks lovely but the thinker girls look even better doing those moves...

[ihatetilatequila]

thats a man

[lexipooh804]

still don't no how 2 do it bitch

[Doughnuts009]

ur slow

[lexipooh804]

White trash. U can't learn how 2 do it if u don't no how 2 do it jack asss. + How da fuck we supposed 2 learn in 1 fuckin minute

[Doughnuts009]

Um. By watching and er...doing white trash LOL. BTW I'm hispanic.

[DimentiaMorte]

She moves beautifully

[gazalees]

She is a very good dance teacher. I've been trying to get this move down. It was never explained to me like this before. Now I get it. Very cool

[jennyfur888975]

@gazalees I have been trying to do this also and I never could until she explained it

[xxbabechulitaxx]

lmao.she sucks!

[ScHnitzLLlicious92]

no offense but.. she really has no curves

or hips. and so u can be the biggest pro but it's still not attractive

[NANAWBAS]

i agree no curves at all

[shiping816]

谢谢你上传的好看的视频。我非常喜欢。

[Daira55]

Hi Girl!  Excellent basic lesson. Reverse part it's a little difficult.

[MakeMeFamousBaaby]

[droidikadoublej]

nobody's judging you sheesh.

[ssiri69]

i like these movement...alguien me lo puede explicar en espanol...o algunos tips para hacerlo bien...gracias..

[ItsNikkiRae]

ella lo hace bien pero no lo hace como las arabes lo hacen , las arabes usan sus caderas mas enves de usar sus pies para hacer el 8. yo e bailado el belly dancing desde los 13 para empesar sujiero k empieses moviendo las caderas cuando tengas la oportunidad. de lado a lado trata de no usar las piernas mucho para acerlo ver mas estilo arabe :)

[leylaaa007]

is that it???????? its an arabic dance....trust me learn it from an arab or Turkish chick!! check Asena or didem....really good.

[awv1001]

wow i got nothing this works! you know hat i got nothing thank you!

[sharba555]

[BowDownToAna]

[fannahjonas]

[marlana07]

[SamanthaXAmanda]

I've seen this move before, and have tried it, but never really got it thatt good. Then I watched this video and now I can do the move :) Not fast yet, but I can do it slowly. You're really good.
