[lethalcreampuff]

I wish we could see what her legs are doing. XD I can't tell if my feet and knees should be moving as much as they are when I do this move. :D

@lethalcreampuff

Bend your knees, keep them flexible, just like your feet. The secret is, feel your HIPS

and pelvis as the center of your energy, and feel the tambourine music.

She's very good !!!

[RebaRox84]

He! He! I luv ice cream!

[EclipseBellyDance]

The move she is demonstrating is a horizontal 8.

(The reason it's called an "8" by the way is because your hip movement follows the lines of the number if you were to lay it down sideways in front of you on the floor..)

It is a combination of two basic hip moves:

The Hip slide & The Hip Twist

Start by sliding your hips out, but keep them level.

Then twist your body from the waist, leaving one hip in front of the other.

Now slide your hips the other way.

Now twist again, and repeat..

Try it!

"Bear with me and take your time. It will come"

Those were such inspiring words to me, encouraged me to keep trying until I get it instead of getting angry and dumping bellydance.
