Ansuya teaches you basic belly dance movements that go with each zill pattern, then adds the zills to each of these movements. Moving and dancing with zills, in addition to proper technique, is an important part of learning to play your finger cymbals.
Ansuya is one of the best bellydancers of our time... May she keep enchaunting us with her performances and wonderful smiling expressions for many years to come!

I visited her website and discovered that Ansuya previously lived in Ojai (a small town near me) and that her mother is Jenaene, another bellydancer who gave lessons and put on some nice performances back in the 70's and early 80's. I even have photographs of the troupe dancing at our County Fair!
