    I thought I should mention that it takes more than 9 minutes to get the chest circle right. If you practice, practice, practice the 2 movements shown you will eventually get the chest circle. Unless you are already familiar with belly dance movements, this is not a movement we do in every day lives so don't be hard on yourselves and put in the practice.

    I'm so glad I pulled this up. I danced until my then-husband (very abusive) flipped out and didn't want me "dancing sexy." I danced for myself, but he twisted my arms (sometimes literally). I miss dancing. I may only start again with UA-cam, but I'll be dancing again.
    ETA: before anyone asks, yes, it's been years, and I briefly remarried, but my ex-wife was just as bad. She stopped me from studying because "cultural appropriation." I have terrible taste in spouses.

Thankyou for the videos n please do upload more after lesson 2. Lovvvve!

      C Bee I’ve completed lessons 1-7 so far, but I’ve also been watching other videos for practice. I have chest lifts and drops down, as well as chest slides but I struggle a bit with chest circles. I’ve noticed that if I’m looking at myself in the mirror it’s harder to get any of these moves right, so I either practice with my eyes closed for a brief moment or I don’t use a mirror the entire practice. I try to belly dance for at least an hour a day. I will admit that I have not practiced in about four or five days though. My biggest issue is that I don’t know how to relax and have fun, but there are days when I really do try to just have fun with it. My belly dancing moves look so much better when I’m not trying too hard. I don’t like to go on to a new move until I feel confident in the others. I most likely will not learn the choreography in these lessons until after I’ve gotten every move down. I will say that I see improvement compared to last month! It really helps if you watch other tutorials, because you may find that other people’s techniques are easier than the ones shown in this series. I hope this helps. :)

      Isolation, I found that doing just the up/down chest isolation enough to get used to even doing that movement was challenging, then the side to side made me ach and I only did this video, no chest circles at all, Im really respecting the control it takes to belly dance, Im doing this every morning, and going to work my way up! Good luck to you!

    There are a few things you can try
    1. Start with the circle
    This one's the sexiest and easiest. All you need to do is feel the joints of your hip and shoulder and make a circle.
    2. look for some online videos to follow.

    I just cant lift my chest up and down or side to side without moving my shoulders or hips.
    Your teaching style is top notch tho i must say. You broke it down so well that i might actually be able to pick it up if i keep repeating the moves daily til i get it! I cant wait for lesson 2. Lets hope it doesn't take me that long

    Hey thanks for such accurate description! Usual tutorial videos I have seen just give a look on how the movement is and don't do such detailed explanation. I have been trying these movement wrong all this time. It's definitely challenging and you make it look so effortless. The tailbone straightening without engaging glutes is a bit of a challenge too.Thanks again and looking forward to more tutorials!
