bELLY DANCING?
I really,really,really want to know how to belly dance and im hoping i can do it at home without taking any classes.If you have any tips or steps to becoming a better (because im pretty bad right now) belly dancer PLEASE POST!!!
hey, i’m lebanese and belly dancing is in my blood. i’m a good belly dancer so i’m sure i can help. first off, you need to know that belly dancing isn’t a sleezy or stripper-esque dance used to please men (not that those are bad things haha). instead, it’s to feel beautiful as a woman and embrace your sensuality./sexuality. it’s very classy and gorgeous.
i’km not sure what you know, so i’ll try to cover the basics.
whenever you dance your back needs to be straight because you ctan easily hurt youself. lift your neck, release the shoulders, and tuck in your tailbone(this took a while for me to get…i stick out my butt like crazy.) after that, the starting position is to have either the left or right knee bent, and the opposite leg holding all the wieght while remaining straight. you can shake your hips by shifting motion from foot to foot, or move your hip forward and back to form a cresent. there is also the figure of eight…but this is harder if you don’t know howour to belly dance. think of sliding your belly button without moving your legs (push from your core). then, twist forward. slide to the opposite side and twist back. repeat, as you get beter it will become more fluid and look sexy and beautiful. also, you would probally want to know how to shimi (your legs). relax and simply move your knees up and down. the other shimi is to move softly from your hips side to side. it helps to practice by sitting on the floor and lifiting your kneese about 2 or 3 inches and doing it as fast as you can. for the shoulders, push only one should a little out at a time. you don’t want large, exagerated movements, just think that there is a fringe on your bra that you are trying to move. move from your core and upper abs. finally, you’ll want to be able to do the hand movements. relax your fingers, and move from your hands, up through your arms, into your inner back and shoulders. practice against a wall, barely touching the wall with your middle fingers as your go up and down slowly.
if you need anymore tips just ask, and i hope i helped a little!
