1001 Bellydance Moves - Slow Moves Demo

thanks soo much for this!! I was just wondering though, whyy always from a diagonal and never the side? And I LOVE your costume!! Where did you get it from? I can't find any good places=/ Thanks again!!=D

Hi, its an Eman Zaki costume...and I personally think the move looks best from a diagonal, but you can do it either front or side on if you choose to.

You're welcome! Yes the gracefulness comes with increased flexibility, relaxed breathing, increased body awareness & body confidence and of course...practice :)

Thank you. That does help. I'm learning how to isolate my muscles. It's hard! One more question: does the gracefulness come with increased ability? I feel like a 2X4 board!

They are the Rectus Abdominus group - most commonly known as your "6 pack". They are are group of muscles in 4 main sections that start just under your ribs and extend down to your pelvis. Their job is to bend your back forward, the same movement involved in a basic crunch. The secret is to be able to identify the sections and contract each independently. Try various "sit-ups" and you will see how different angles of incline affect different segments of the ab rec group...hope that helps.

That previous reply was me. I was signed in as my daughter! Oops! Thanks again!

I'm just learning. Can anyone help me identify the muscles she talks about? I still can't do it. I tighten one muscle, they all tighten! Help!

Keti's book on belly dance is very good if you want to learn simple and easy.........
