Cassiopeia Belly Dance How To - Lower Undulations

[VAMPIRICROCKSTAR]

Marco Polo!! Great song choice!! And are you a belly dancing teacher?? Like you give actual classes??

[cassiopeia222]

Yes, I do teach belly dance as my profession. Check the link above to find out more info on my regular and online classes.

[LeandreaLeialoha]

Thank you for clearly demonstarting the steps to undulations. I've had a difficult time with undulations. Thanks to your videos breaking the movement down step by step I can properly practice this technique.

[cassiopeia222]

I am glad this video is of use to you! Happy dancing!

[lyndagemma]

This video clip is really clear to understand - please can you explain to me what a "reverse camel" is, or have you already compiled a video clip? Many thanks.

[cassiopeia222]

I would assume it is the camel performed in the reverse direction. I do not do camels, but upper and lower undulations instead. The reverse of this video is to drop the hips, pull to the back first, tuck the hips/pelvis up toward the ceiling and then push the hips forward, drop hips down, repeat..... HTH!

[gemmavd]

you have amazing control! im learning belly dancing and youve been really helpfull!

keep up the great work :D

[Fuscalupa]

Another great video! Thank you. I do have a question about the proper posture, though(I don't see a video about how we ought to stand).What should it feel and look like when I'm standing with my bottom tucked? Should my back be as if I'm standing against a wall? Spine straight, all the way done to my bottom with no arch in my lower back? If feels odd. In practice should I feel a bit of strain in my lower back when in the position for a while?

[cassiopeia222]

Yes, tucking the bottom keeps the lower back straight. One thing I should also include is to keep your weight on your heels.

[cassiopeia222]

loreena mckennet, marco polo, book of secrets.

[exeter120]

The undulation was always one of my weak points, but your video laid it out for me nicely, and I've actually improved a bit after watching it. Thanks!

[katchance]

[cassiopeia222]

They are daughters who have been dancing almost as long as I have been dancing.

[katchance]

[pangsai]

[cassiopeia222]

Yes, Males do this form of dance. Do a search on YouTube and you will find examples.

[evarotstein]

oh, I´m looking for this music!!! But it´s impossible to find it!!! Does anybody know the tittle and/or the name of the artist/group? Thousands of thanks!!!

[cassiopeia222]

Loreena McKennit, Marco Polo.

[CascataAriana]

I love Loreena McKennitt. Her music is the best, it's really interesting.

[Kyla5999]

Look into greek music. That is one of the traditional belly dance sounds.

[cassiopeia222]

I prefer classical Egytian, but thanks for your suggestion.

[bellafedora]

I just started watching these clips yesterday, but I already feel like I've learned so much! Thank you so much for posting these, this is such a great workout and very fun! :)

[amorsecreto1000]

I agree with all the ladies here...you are a beautiful dancer and a generous woman for sharing these with us. I am far too shy to try to take a class, so I have purchased some DVDs, but I want you to know that they were not as helpful as these video clips you are posting.

Thanks so much

[xxbrittanixx]

its really nice of you to put these on here! they are very helpful! thanks :)

[IshtarBellydancer]

It is really kind and generous of you to share your knowledge with others... bless you!

[banaanza]
