From the back:Have you always wanted to belly dance but held back because you don’t “look like” a belly dancer?
Or have you tried belly dance but were frustrated because your body type was different from the instructor’s so your moves didn’t look the same?
The instructional DVD series Belly Dance for Every Body was created with you in mind! It doesn’t matter what your body type is - you can be thick or thin, large or small, tall or short - anyone can belly dance beautifully. Huraiva is a plus size dancer with years of experience teaching all shapes and sizes to belly dance.
In Level 1 of this series, you will realize your potential and take the first steps towards learning an ancient dance form celebrating women of all body types.
In this DVD, Beginning Belly Dance: Vertical Circles, you will learn proper dance posture essential for safe and beautiful dancing. And with practice, it will carry over to your everyday life, leading to better posture and carriage overall! Graceful arm positions and basic dance movements are the building blocks which combine to create vertical circles. As you learn each step, you will combine it with a previously learned movement creating short combinations so you can see how everything fits together.
Take your first step towards learning this dance form rich in traditions, and handed down through the centuries. Are you ready for Belly Dance for Every Body?
