Belly Dance: Advanced Rocking Undulations

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Johanna, and this is Karen. And we're from Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio in St. Petersburg Florida. Let's work on our advance rocking undulation. So we're going to put our left foot in front of our right. And keep your feet under you, don't take too big of a step out, good. Right toes back by the left heel, so feet are together, almost together. Bend the knees, pull the bellybutton in, good. Arms out away from the body. Now remember, we're trying not to use the shoulders too much, because that would be a camel, and we're trying to do a nice clean undulation. So the chest comes forward and up, and lift back, keep it lifted, and then roll down; 1,2,3,4. So make it nice and smooth. So if you see the chest is making a circle forward, and the hips are as well. Okay, focus on that chest, lead with the chest, good. Don't let the chest drop too low, keep it lifted straight forward and up, good. Don't let the shoulders get into it, relax the shoulders, the movement is all in the torso; 1,2,3,4. Think about rolling down on that back foot, use your abdominal muscles, upper to lower; 1,2,3,4; 1,2 and double time; 1,2,3,4; 1,2,3,4; right foot, left (I'm sorry) left foot, right foot; forward, back, forward, back, good. Drill it nice and slow, and then speed it up in front of a mirror until you get it nice and smooth.
