i think this lady is very beautiful and many of you mainly think that she doesnt know what she is taking about when actually she is explainging it fine but prehaps she isnt using spiced up vocab so what its not a crime

i think your teaching is very good :)

thanks for posting your vid's

also belly dance is not about being skiny

if only skinny people could exersize then the world would just be fat !

[JoannWV]

I agree so much with you, because bellydancing doesn't matter what size.

@SweetBlondealicious LOL As I said SOME very skinny dancers really looks like that, not ALL the skinny dancers in the world...never saw you dancing and I'm sorry if you felt the cap fits you. LOL I'm skinny either and happy with myself, I really don't know what are you talking about...it was just a comment in reply to ppl here saying this dancer is fat, what I really don't agree but even if she was fatty, she is more gracious than SOME (once again, I said SOME) skinny dancers I saw..

[SweetBlondealicious]

Trust me... you do not havve to stretch for 10 minute at least thats at the extreme most... it takes 30 seconds for the musle your stretching to be fully stretched... i am a dancer believe me not ten minutes!!!! she dosent know what shes doing... energy from the earth???? pshhhhh!

[SweetBlondealicious]

@hellobisq Thats hurtfull. I am skinny and rockin my goregous body when im belly dancing! Dont need to use rude comments t make your self feel better.

[SweetBlondealicious]

@JoannWV I agree but back when belly dancing first originated it was meant to " hypnotize " men.

[NymphadoraBeeWolf]

i don't know whether she is nervous or just isn't good with speaking english but its so cute when she slips in speaking lol

[bunnyfluffify]

Holy crap guys, she is beautiful and just aopefjawelfkcvjs

GIMME HER BODY!

[SinnfulSky]

She is attractive. I'd rather her be healthy and have muscle then to be some emaciated chick with fake parts. True perfection lies within our imperfections. Mainstream media has so many people conditioned to be ignorant. It hurts.

[ShrOomSoUl999]

i dont hate nything abt her...she's awesome....its just dat when she speaks...it makes me wanna spit! =/

[shawneelynn]

it's really about loosening up your entire body and learning flexibility. plus the traditional garb and jewelry help to show emphasis. but i really think bellydancing is about sensuality and letting go. being loose and free. i'm pretty stiff and unflexible. and i really want to change that. plus i want to be able to flow better while hoopdancing. skinny girls get such a bad rap, we don't choose any more than you do. it hurts me when i see people comparing body types. everyone was born special.

[shawneelynn]

Rachel Brice is one of the best belly dancers in the world and she's skinny. I mean, she's got hips, but she doesn't look like she's got any body fat. Not that it matters, but skinny girls can do it too. That's why I'm watching these videos. I'm pretty thin but my hips and bust are exactly the same size, so i have a good basic body shape for belly dancing, as i have an hourglass shape even though it's a really small hourglass! haha. I agree that curvy women show more emphasis when bellydancing.
