Instructions
Step 1
Oriental dances are, in addition to the performance of movements, the atmosphere created by the music. For the first lessons, you should not select complex classical oriental melodies for musical accompaniment. You can dwell on the popular songs of Tarkan or Mustafa Sandal.
Step 2
Oriental dances are based on the performance of certain elements, movements that accompany the words in the song. That is, there is a combination of words, and movement corresponds to it. For example, the song is sung about a loved one, "khabibi". With this word, as a rule, the dancer's hands are pressed to her chest, heart.
Step 3
Oriental dance is called belly dance for a reason. The movements of this part of the body are the main elements in dance and at the same time the most difficult to perform. For a beautiful performance of waves, twisting, you must have a completely relaxed, soft belly. This does not mean a big belly, as many people think, and not a pumped-up abs, which is absolutely impossible to relax. In the area of the solar plexus, you should not have any muscle and psychological tension. In dance, it is important to learn how to relax and strain your stomach while inhaling and exhaling in a certain rhythm. In this case, your face should be absolutely relaxed, no clenched teeth and tense cheekbones.
Step 4
Hip movements are another hallmark of belly dance. There are a lot of drum beats and beats in the music of the East. They are accompanied by movements of the hips: gluteal shaking, circular movements, eights. It is important here not to pinch the pelvis (for example, as in yoga), but, on the contrary, to perform the elements with "open" hips. Belly dance, in its style, is a chaste dance, but its performance requires a woman to accumulate all the feminine principle.
Step 5
Hands are actively involved in the dance. But at the same time, the muscles of the back and neck work. In the dance, the back must be kept straight, not slouched. Do not be afraid to open your arms in motion, to show their beauty. The abundance of rings and bracelets on the hands will only enhance their attractiveness. Gestures are a very important part of the dance - they can tell about love, or they can be deleted from your heart.
