Belly Dancing: Belly Work : Belly Dancing: Belly Rolls

[Amazingsummer00]

how can you just move your lower and upper muscles seperate?

[amysquie]

I can pull them in independently but I can't release them this way!

[navelfan]

That was almost hypnotic!

[jjfan71]

i cant roll the top section

[ashestoashes111]

man, I can't get the hang of this..my back keeps stiffening up and my abs just won't disconnect..lol..

[karonvick]

That works Great! Thanks for the time you put in to share with us!

[MotherWifeandDancer]

you do not need toned muscle for this.a ctually women who do not do any other ab work, do this easier for some reason. you can be a size 2 or size 20 and od these. the probem is the more you do belly rolls your stomach starst to look more distended...ie you will look fatter if you roverweight cause the muscles grow outward a little afte working them like this a lot

[foxychick6748]

I think you need toned an muscles to do this lol

[primazz]

wtf. i think i only have one set of abs. my stomach only goes in and out @______@

[nocoho1]

I think this is one of those things you can either do or you can't! I can't figure it out!! I wish I could :(

[MrsGossipQueen]

I CANT DO IT

[jjfan71]

@MrsGossipQueen me neither

[parkwoodsMP]

dawg this shit hella easy..i did it like in 3o sec.

[marian125]

I could do this since I was a little kid.

[4lifeKid]

ya my friend did it when she was 2 years too

[Nighthawkkeg]

Me too lol!

[avytech]

@marian125 My little cousin has been doing is since she was four and it's always made me giggle.

[lovelilocks8]

@avytech

no one cares

[shahanastyle]

@lovelilocks8 Somehow you cared enough to comment. Love you, too.

[MusicIsLife9209]

Ugh, I still can't do one =(

[tomboy74536]

are there any exercises that will strengthen my ab muscles that will help me be able to do it?

[maggotxcadaver]

I can't do it from top to bottom. Just from bottom to top. For some reason I just can't grasp the concept of releasing the top muscle while the bottom is still contracted.

[Brandon8Brenda]

how long must i practise till i can do that? can't coordinate my belly musles - one single belly - that's what is moving when i try this

[sing4YouAlone]

this is the one and only dancing technique ability that i was born with lol i've been belly rolling just for kicks ever since i was like.. 3..?

and no u don't need tummy flab for this! on the contrary as a belly dancer u want to look fit and slim.. tho you don't have to of course most just feel more comfortable that way as their bellies are exposed..

[GuitarRockinChick18]

hell i feel comfortable being NORMAL! lol most women who belly dance have "flab". It doesn't matter what you look like because as long as you have the confidence and smile and feel great about yourself, your audience doesn't care! (well at least the GOOD ones, not the posers here on youtube that want to comment on everyone)

[amandahackman]

question: do u need tummy flab to be able to do this?? cos i have done (:D) could this be why i cant do it? or do i jus suck at it? cos i cant pull in my top ab muscles...

[GuitarRockinChick18]

noooo lol i have a tummy too but i cant seem to coordinate my abs enough for this either lol, supposidly i did it once when i was laying down and my husband freaked out and said "that was awesome do it again!" lol. ok heres an easy tip for your upper abs, keep a neutral spine and drop your chest muscles pushing your belly out. (kind of like when your going a #2 lol its gross but it helps)the muscles are right below your chest like youre doing a sit up. hope this helped :D keep practicing!

<3

[holetoledo]

Wow, that helped a lot!!! Thank you!

[GuitarRockinChick18]

loool you're welcome. My description was kinda weird but i'm glad it helped you! lol

[cabbat]

no you can be really skinny and do it perfectly, just like the belly dancer didem, who has no tummy whatsoever and yet does it brilliantly!

[spicedjellybeans]

[Hestia2021]

[LeRoiSoleilLuv]
