  • This is an undulation, not a belly roll.

  • @xuebelle1 I agree. A bellyroll uses stomach muscles only. An undulation uses the spine....as she is doing. Good call.

  • watch?v=3s0blhYVUQA

  • Does she always look that happy??

  • @dangard88 Lol Tribal Fusion Belly Dancers are not known for smiling because of the increased muscle control they put into each move kinda takes over and we forget, I don't smile much either when I dance lol

  • She's wearing eyeshadow and lipgloss. Other than that I can't tell trhough the pixals but thats about as close as you're going to get to her actual face

  • cutelittlepoimaniac-that is a bellyroll with a slight backbend. your teacher is referring to the area in which you see a lot of bollywood dancers today ( though she's tribal fusion american as am i LOL)

  • @firestonemagic bollywood dancers are from india and their dance type is much different, bellydancing is what ur seeing up there, which is arabic :D just clarifying.

  • does anyone know about her dance background? shes so popular but i cant seem to find the info on google. i heard she does yoga but thats it.

  • @blaint09 Honestly, why does that even matter? She is herself, with her own style. And if you like her style, she teaches and has videos. I don't get why people get so concerned over background and lineage. You may have some valid reason for wanting know, though. Perhaps you are writing a biography or something?

  • @TheEidolon7 blaint09 was asking about Rachel's dance background~ most likely wanted to know her training and other dance experience.

    I didn't see where the question of lineage came up here. I do agree with you that some people get pretty silly about that- Especially those that think that only people with Arab lineage can belly dance!

  • I don't think that's a belly roll. In Spanish my teacher calls it "arabe" so... arabic?

  • Comment removed

  • still not a smile cracks her face though!

  • who else had a boner?

  • rachel, u have almost as many tats as me, love yours.danceon,your bestest fan,harleygypsy2003, get harley, ride somex when n sw

  • Wow. If it wasn't for the tattoo, I never would have thought this was her.

  • Does any one know what instructional video this came from? I know it wasn't Serpentine, but I can't seem to figure it out. 

  • hey babsi falls du den kommentar mal siehst..schau auf ihre beinhaltung

  • wait a saecind isn't her tattoo actually on her left hip??? I mean look it up but i'm shure it is ô_o

  • @xXdunkelelfeXx in fact this is not rachel brice -.-

  • @valycipuschi It is, look at her tattoos.

  • @valycipuschi yes she is Rachel Brice without Make-up look closer! :)

  • Oh...so beauty...like a panther...elegant and mysterious...

  • where ever she is let me know i will subcribe to her channel

  • ES LA MEJOR

  • she is gorgeous

  • 練習~

  • oo simplemente me enkanta la adoooro es super wooow!!!

  • am I the only one who thinks she looks like Anna Paquin in this video?

  • @sveynforkbeard No! My first thought was "oh my god she looks like Sookie without all her make-up!"

  • @Rikusi

    Very true!

  • @sveynforkbeard

    I see what you mean! Cute and brillant ---a mix! Rachel looks so young here. I know this is a 2006 video. It is her mood I guess, very Anna Paquin.

  • @molarmama5 GAAAH you're spot on, I was trying to figure out who she reminded me of! Thanks! :D

  • I would seriously marry this woman in a blink.

  • I wish I could do undulations like that! gggrrr more practise

  • omg...she is really pretty...not awesome, but nicely pretty..

  • Raquel is the BEST!

  • anyone else notice that her tattoo switches sides? It's supposed to be on the left hip..

  • @ShowdownBlamBlam I believe because they also take shots looking through the mirror. =)

  • she makes it look so easy...:)

  • AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow..Without the make up I couldn't even recognize her. But the tattoo looked really familiar. ^_^

  • her spine is a snake. Wow.

  • I can do that move... well not as good as Rachel Brice. She is such an inspiration. :)

  • increible!!

  • Is this from the DVD:

    Tribal Fusion - Yoga Isolations & Drills for Bellydance

    ??

  • @marueli yes

  • Is this tabla?? If so, that style of drumming is off the fucking hook, definitely feeling some good vibes of this shit. If someone could tell me of the name of the drum song or drummer, would appreciate it. Rachel Brice also an amazing dancer.

  • dunbek

  • Doumbek also called Darbuka

  • I'd say more a body roll then a belly roll

  • She's almost 40. Born in '72

  • They say some can either do it right away, in 15 min or 15 years. You first have to learn how to seperate your stomach into 3 parts (which I can) and then work them in a rythmic pattern (which I can't) lol She's good :)

  • Bellydance Superstars! Course she's good. She's one of the goddesses of Tribal Fusion. :D

  • IS the Godess

  • the best, i think...or is someone better? i dont think so...

  • Aiiee so creepy and cool at the same time.

  • no, just sexy

  • This is actually a body wave, but she does use the bellyroll as an accent to it.

    ^-^

  • It looks like another accent on the body wave. her control and Isolation is awesome. I wish I could be that good someday - but I started too late in life and had no ballet before. :/

  • Don't worry that you started too late. Just do your best, and have fun. Worrying that you started too late can be more crippling than actually, you know, being a late bloomer. Never let it hold you back. Never surrender! ;D I won't surrender, even with back injuries...although, that's mostly stubborn disregard for doctors advice on my part. Not advisable.

  • ps. look up " i love rachel brice " its a video i made for you - maybe you can teach me more. it should show up on your video comments hopefully

  • Comment removed

  • I believe that she's either 36 or 37, one of the two. I was amazed when I found that out, because she really doesn't look it.

  • That is amazing. I always assumed she was in her 20's.

  • Not technically a belly roll since she is moving her back this is a different move but her actual belly roll is effing amazing.

  • Oh my gosh without makeup and jewelry she looks like a completely different person!! Still very pretty though :)

  • @Evilphatpandah

    yes, that's camel =)

  • @Evilphatpandah she is wearing make up

  • @Evilphatpandah Hate to burst your bubble, but she's wearing a LOT of makeup. It's just not as dark. :)

  • does any one know how old rachel brice is!

    she is such an amzing belly dancer!

    she does inspirer me!

    love her!

    x x

  • she 35 now.

  • oooo my god! she is so much beautiful without makeover!

  • Damn.

  • she has the best stomach on a girl i think i have every seen she is such a good role model for those who do belly dancing and she is very inspirering

  • Very nice camel

  • i have the full video in a playlist on my page. (along with some others of her videos) she does do a belly roll in this clip at the beginning, but she's trying to teach an upper body undulation. (using the whole upper body) this is a good base for a belly roll, but i do have to agree by saying that this is not what she is trying to teach.

  • wow i'd like to fuse with her. my goodness, pretty as the morning in the springtime.

  • you eyeballin' my woman?!?! lol

    yeah, I totally agree, she's absolutely stunning

  • i learned that its called an undulation

    everyone has different terms for movements

    it really doesn't even matter what its called

    shes gorgeous and so are her moves

  • it is called a lot of things. my studio calls it a camel and a backwards camel

  • She's really amazing, I must say she captures the art of belly dancing perfectly but I really enjoy more curvy girls myself. It's the little added weight around the hips and belly I think that make a good dancer. She's amazing though, I really like her.

  • dear god she's beautiful

  • this is a body roll not bellyroll

  • a body roll is called a camel. that is the real bellydance term for a body roll, just to let you know. i am NOT trying to be rude, i was just saying.

  • She has a fantastic physique, but that's more than bellydancing to get a body as well defined as hers.

  • she taught yoga and pilates for years before going into Tribal Fusion.

  • ok, am i the only person scratching their heads at where her tattoo is? its on the opposite side of her body than all the other movies ive seen, check it out!

  • yea lol

  • because it's the mirror which is filmed, when we see her looking at the mirror the tatoo is on the opposite side.

  • yes you see rachels tat on the other side--it all depends on if the cam filming is in a mirror image or if it is straight. it just depends. look at what she has on her arms and watch lots of her videos to figure out where the tat is. :)

  • This must be good for digestion... Similar to reverse breathing in way lol. Love her moves!

  • love her

  • She looks fantastic without make-up, but the girl sure knows how to wear it on stage.

  • many long hours well spent in front of that mirror.

  • rachel you are GREAT !!!

  • beautiful rachel, even without make up she's quite amazing!

  • shes better without it =\

  • Yeah, I agree...

  • looks like a sidewinder to me. :0

  • it is not a belly roll

    it is a belly roll and the usual roll combined because she is using both

    her upperbody and belly :)

  • Heheh, I don't think your translation is 100% correct, still funny though.

  • great....

  • shes so beatiful without make up

  • Erh...

    What?

    English man, use English, it's universal, not German...

  • Come again???

    Your'e nut's man!

  • You go girl!

    But she looks angry while dancing here, lol. That's so 1980's.

    hotness X (god + damn) = Rachel Brice.

  • I just noticed something. When she is leaning back, she doesn't do a belly roll in that position. It's when she comes forward that she does a belly roll.

    I thought I had to do a belly roll when I was leaning back and was so frustrated because my belly just didn't want to move when I was in that position. Now I see that even she doesn't do it.

  • Come from where?

  • Actually its an adult joke, it was meant to be written incorrectly for the double meaning purpose, that is for the ones that can actually understand it..

  • Well we got one meaning, what's the other?

  • hahah that 'abercromibe' comment must be from a 10yr old lol. i get you! hahha

  • Actually it's from someone that can spell properly.

  • i can spell properly, just so you know, i got an a* in both my english gcse's. happy?

  • huh?

  • been waiting 18 days for this dvd...

    >_>

  • And to think I spend and hour sitting and reading old magazines! I wish I have her bowel control.

  • lol

  • just takes control and work.

  • i think she looks most beautiful natural

  • wtf are you on about i got this dvd and that is Rachel it's because alot of the shots are her reflection in the mirror!!

  • of course that's rachel. but it isn't a belly roll. she's doing a body undulation/roll. belly rolls involve moving only the abdominals, not the spine.

  • It's partly filmed in the mirror, so her tattoo is on the other side

  • She is so gorgeous and talented.

    Even without the getup she usually wear, she's just stunning

    ♥Teena

  • wow...! ich möchte das auch können, kann mir das jemand erklären??

  • gucks dir an und übe

  • haha, danke^^

  • xD kein problem

  • nice tattoo

  • Watching Rachel's abs work is an anatomy lesson.

  • how do you do it ?

    wow i wish i could do that. gosh

  • oh my..i wanna grow up and do that one day!!1

  • i want her tatoo lol. its cute!

  • She has great isolation and to the previous comment i'm a middle eastern dancer and thats very advanced isolation and shes concentrating hard if she was performing she probably wouldn't let that show.

  • rachel has a face as if somebody owes her a lot of money and dindt pay her.

  • that move is extreamly difficult and you do need to consentrate a hell of a lot to do it. I doubt she was thinking about fer face

  • Hahahaha...you are funny!!!

  • I have this same dvd, and absolutely love it; it does indeed lay a good foundation for body conditioning. Only problem with this dvd is, my DAUGHTER keeps borrowing it! ^^;;

  • wow THANKS for the detailed description :))

    sounds really good, a bit hard for me non-yoga trained person at all though :)) might get a yoga beginner first i think

    but thanks that was so helpful!!

  • hello!

    can someone tell me whether there is no sound on the original brice video? someone gave me a copy i think it s a download.. it has this music, but NO explanation at all.. not in the yoga nor in bd part. thinkin bout buying the dvd, but would like to know wheter there s voice over at all?? thanks!!!

  • she's amazing...all her moves are very pure and powerfuL..stunning RACHEL BRICE

  • Please somebody tell me how to do this, I'm trying but its hard, I think maybe Im breathing in a bad way...... :(

  • I tried to do this just ike she does, and I can!!

    But her other moves are sooo hard... But I keep trying. ;-)

  • Avisss, you may want to update your description of this video since it seems to have caused a lot of controversy in the comments here. In the DVD that I have where she does this excercise, it is titled "Undulation up to down or Body Roll" :-)

  • "Bellyroll"? In spanish we call that movemente "camel", LOL!

    It's funny to see Rachel has really small breasts, and when she's dressed like a tribal bellydancer, she wears special bras that make her breats look really big, when they're really not big.

  • What she's doing is a "standing camel" or upper body undulation WITH a bellyroll layered in.

    As to her chest, she's always dressed the way she has and has never worn anything that would suggest other than what she was born with. She's fabulous. And perfectly Rachel.

  • Not true. She really looks plain here, and when you see her dancing wearing show costumes, she has a bra that pushes her breasts up, making them looks quite bigger.

  • Did you take into account that whenever you do wear a top that has stretch/spandex in it that it will flatten you out? It's not a "bra". If it were, structure, support and presentation would be obvious, as it is in a dance bra and everyday bras.

  • How tall is she? She looks really tall.

  • I believe she's quite petite.  But you're right - her whole presence is tall, long, powerful...just stunning. Talk about dancing with energy. Wow.

  • Gizzis, you are right that this is not technically a belly roll because the description in her DVD actually calls this "Undulation Up To Down Or Body Roll." Having said this, I would also like to say that your catty comment makes me remember why I never liked dancing in other competitive dance forms - too cutthroat and negative to the point of losing the love of dance. I always liked belly dance because of how supportive the other dancers are of all women in all shapes & sizes.

  • So in other words, instead of trying to put her down by commenting on her cup size (very shallow and petty by the way) try and put away the green jealously monster and the kitty claws and appreciate her dancing for what it is: stunning. Maybe you will even want to take notes to expand your own knowledge. Belly dance is about celebrating the sensual side of women - don't criticize someone else simply because they are a more successful dancer than you or because they dance in a style you dislike.

  • But I didn't critisize her!!!!!! You're missunderstanding me! I just talked about her bra. I really love her, that's it!

  • most bras push your boobs up anyway, especially belly dance ones because they have to be a little padded to hold the weight of all the embellishments.

  • beautiful........

  • hmm, those rolls are actually called camels. real bellyrolls are very difficult and go DOWN the torse, not up. these are how some dancers 'cheat' rolls, by using some muscles but its all in the spine. real rolls are done completely using the '6 pack' area, and using isolation instead of moving the spine. her back shouldnt be moving.

  • I beleive she is doing perfectly fine, and she can do perfect rolls, these are called undulations. They are a completely different move than what you call "rolls". And she is doing them perfectly.

  • Oh, but she can do them all right! O_O Everything she does is absolutely gorgeous.

  • This is an undulation, not a camel, but I do understand that bellydance has so many different names for the same moves. In tribal the camel is a traveling move.

    Belly rolls can go up and down the torso, but yes they are indeed an ab isolation with no movement in the rest of the body.

  • Folk camels start below the ribs and the chest follows... There's another kind of camel that starts in the chest, but that's an American adaptation. ^^'' At least that's what my instructor told us.

  • are the belly rolls ur talkin about usin ur stomach and not ur back?

  • Yes. Belly rolls are all in the abs, and the rest of the body is still. You can layer a belly roll wit other moves, like a shimmy+belly roll etc, but the rolls are all in the abs.

  • okay thnx

  • She has such a long neck..it is beautiful!

  • hottie.

  • I believe she is teacing undulations here, with an emphasis on the belly. Her chest should not be moving forward and back for a roll....

  • wow, with or with out makeup she still looks georgous.

  • She still has make-up. It's just not exotic like what she wears when performing.

  • Um yeah i agree with the comment down there why is her tattoo on the other side of her belly??!!??

  • it's not on the other side, it's still on her left, the problem is that the camera is taking the image from the mirror xD

    At some times her tatto is on the right (as the brazalet on her arm) and at some times is on her left, depending where the camera is looking at.

  • Am I the only one who's wondering why her tattoo is on the other side of her hips in comparison to the other vidoes?

  • Video is watching the mirror.

  • LOL too funny!

  • No your not i am too lol

  • Most of the footage in this vid is a reflection of her in the mirror. When you see her and her refection at the same time in this video take a look at HER and not the reflection...the tattoo is on the left like it should be.

  • This video is from her DVD, which is set in a dance studio. The straight-on bits are shot in a mirror. You'll see that the bits shot from the side have her tattoo on the right side again.

  • she looks so different w/o her makeup. I think she looks prettier w/o all that stuff on her face. :)
