Remove a number of comment...STVpeople???? You've removed nearly all and amended the title.?????.it still says "Basic Bellydance" and what is on the tutorial has no resemblence to  basic belly dance . You have left what suits you. Ho hum. I, for one , said nothing to the detrement of Zumba only that you shouldn't infer that it incorporates belly dance technique

Look Zumba is great for fitness. Belly dance is a DANCE.

@lizajuk

The description has been amended as stated in previous comment, the title of the video clearly puts the move in a Zumba context.

[STVPeople]

Please also note that the description of the video was not written by Donna, but by STV and has now been amended to hopefully clear things up a little.

I have removed a number of comments on this video as the atmosphere was getting a little "strained". Please note that these tutorials do not claim to be pure Bellydance lessons and are quite clearly put in the context of Zumba and the Zumba Fitness programme, which is inspired by a variety of international dance styles - including bellydance. It is not intended to mislead anyone or misrepresent anything - just to help people have fun and get fit.

DOUBLE DREAM HANDS!!!

You're doing a great job , your instructions are very easy to follow.

Wonderful Donna! I'm sure all zumba people will appreciate this. Remember that Zumba's interpretation of bellydance is different from professional bellydancing!

[mummipoo1]

Part2- it is merely a version or interpretation based on what is required of that programme. So lighten up, there are far more outrages going on in the world than people dancing and enjoying themselves. Stop hating and respect difference. You are putting way too much energy into negativity. Peace out!

[mummipoo1]

Wow! Any movement of the body along to music is Dance- Movement to music is pure joy and brings joy to the participant. At no point have i seen a comment from Zumba or anyone else berating someone like i have seen from some people here. I am a dancer to trade and have danced all over the world and have witnessed many different styles etc. There is no law against your interpretation of a "style" and this video does not pertain to be the authority on "traditional/original bellydance"

[ST44HIPJOINT]

If everyone who finds that aspects of this tutorial is offensive to Bellydance would like to complain to Zumba Fitness then maybe they will endeavour to make some changes if they receive enough complaints. Maybe Zumba did not fully realise this is a respect issue.

Please dont disrespect each other any further. It solves nothing.

The teacher on this video is NOT in any way responsible for the creation of the steps.

Please take it up with the people who are able to make those changes.

still irritates me!!!!!
