Lesson #5 - Belly Dance Boulevard.com - Belly Dancing Lessons

This is the fifth lesson out of a full online belly dance course from BellyDanceBoulevard.com. Watch and practice at the comfort of your home, by yourself or with a friend.
In this video we learn how to do the magical vertical figure eight movement (sometimes called "maya"), and also how to walk with it. I want to remind you to start with the basic posture as was taught in the first lesson, and also that learning to belly dance over the internet does not constitute an alternative for taking classes with a teacher.
The song in this lesson is "ya kelbi" from the CD "Deb" by the great singer, songwriter and guitarist Suad Massi.

Now go have fun!

hi tamar hope yaa doing fine....

i am having problem while doing maya movement variation(i mean which u taught to do by bending knee as in eygptian shimmi) in this lesson.

its not just coming out much clear and also less visible as compared to the first u learned in this lesson.

why is it so?

[BellyDanceB]

@makeupmirrornme The "maya" using only the knees always comes out less visible than the first one - but it is good to practice both. It sounds like you are doing fine.

I gave you 5 stars, favorited &added to my plalist. Thank you so much for this series. This was one of the best instructional videos I have seen for these particular moves because it explains it so well, both in words & in the camera view, & also because of the the way that you did it slowly in pieces, & then all together in a smooth fluid movement. This way we learn what it looks like broken apart & all together. Instruction was very thorough & beginner friendly, & the dancing, beautiful.
