Egyptian Belly Dancing : Posture
Hi! My name is Sahira and I’m here on behalf of Expert Village to tell you a little bit about belly dancing. So with belly dance you always want to remember your basic dance posture, your feet are going to be slightly in from shoulder width apart, you want to keep your pelvic tucked and pulled underneath you, chest lifted and shoulders relaxed at all times. We’ll start with the first basic movement the hip circle, which is comprised of four parts, it slides to one side, it has a front piece, the left side and the back side, you want to think of this circle as being parallel to the ground, so your hips slide right, is a straight line across, you have pull down with the right hip to maintain that straight line, push slightly forward, you can engage your glut muscles to help keep this strong, the left side is the same as the right, a horizontal slide directly to the left pulling down on your outside muscles to keep the hips leveled, and the back you want to be sure to keep your pelvis tucked, it’s like pulling a drawer out of a dresser, so directly behind you, connecting these four points together and a nice, smooth circle you can create the first basic belly dance movement, the hip circle.
