Hello Everyone!
How is your month going so far?
Here is practice video #13.
Some fun variety with the music this time. Just to mix it up. Let me know if you enjoy it :)
Moves covered focus on tutorial # 7 and all previous tutorials.
This one is longer because I had a technical error (the camera somehow dismounted from its holder ruining a practice video so I refilmed it and made a new practice video for 12 and 13). However it was fine up until that point so I f...

Here is Introductory Belly Dance Tutorial #7.
Going forward I will abbreviate these in the titles as IBDT #7
In this tutorial we revisit abdominal pulls in and out and shoulder rolls, particularly forward ones. These moves were most frequently asked about in my messages and in comments on videos so I figured a review and revisit of them with some practice variations would be helpful for those who asked and those who were maybe also struggling with them but has not asked. I am so hap...

I thought it would be fun if once in awhile I posted a video of a dancer that has been a big inspiration to me. Maybe they will become an inspiration to you as well.
Best place to start with that is at the beginning. This is the video and the dancer that got me hooked. I remember the first time I saw this I must have watched it 10 times in a row. I showed it to anyone who would listen/watch lol. I was in awe of her grace, effortlessness, joy , and movement. I knew I wanted to bellydan...

Finally finished this costume. Cobalt and crystal. So happy it's done, I actually feel relieved. This one took soooo long. Over 70 hours but it's done. *crazy laughter*
It needs a name.
Crystal Cobalt?
