What do you think of belly dancing? I am planning to try this one... I am so interested to learn how the belly dancers shake their hips gracefully. Has anyone here tried belly dancing? Please share your experience...Thanks

i have a friend who just signed up for belly dancing! i have yet to observe how she progresses. i'm considering all these hiphop/pop dance classes though. they look like they move (and sweat) a lot!!!!

I take bellydance class now..just a begineers.... i really love it & enjoy...a very feminine dance, very fluidity and and very sexy . ....
a lot of of control indeed come from abominal ...and the more challenging part is the stilling part where you only move one part of your body... while the rest of your body remain still... indeed, need a lot of mind power & pratice....
Btw, in refer to sweating.....yes, believe me, sometimes...imaging you do the hip shimmy non-stop for abt 15-20minutes..with some fast beat music... personally i prefer slow dance....

Hello,
I do not have any idea about it.
But we know Agnisara, that is repeated Uddiayana Bandha and Nauli Rolling. Is there anything like this in belly dance?
Thanks

Bellydance is an ancient Middle Eastern dance in which the dancer makes sensuous movements of the hips and abdomen. It is a "dance".

so is it really effective in toning the abs? you see, I'm really obsessed with having a perfect abs. teehee

hi,teehee, honestly i saw some belly dancers with not so perfect abs yet dance fabulosly.... their tummy like rubber, so flexible....oh god  ..it is very feminine & sexy dance, but personally, if you want to hv perfect abs & toning the abs, i think other methods will be more effective....i believe plank pose is the good pose to work on this core muscle....

great! thanks for the tip happyfish, how long have you been belly dancing? you must have a flexible body!
|

not really that flexible at this moment, but way to go..... i think in any dancing, one of the key is to let go & merge yourself with the music...hahah, i just too conscious in the steps & techniques.. ..same as yoga...right??? but i do do enjoy in belly dancing...
hv fun!!! let discuss more when your gals takes the course...
