This was great, thanks, been searching for "belle dancing steps" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Tiyammad Belly Bulldozer - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.
She literally made me feel like I'm a good belly dancer lol! I don't know how to explain it. I suck at dancing in general but I felt like I was doing everything okay and there were times when I felt like I was being stiff and I just worked my way through it. She's honestly such a good teacher. Like I felt a connection through the screen lol! I just felt really pretty doing this lol.... Okay I'm done being weird
It's so weird how you put lol after every sentence like that lol.. I started thinking whether my language teacher taught me wrong English lol.. and when I'm actually trying to do this it is not at all funny lol
@@kritikasharma_15 lol it’s just a way some of us talk. It’s not really a big deal. It’s kind of like a slang. Kind of like “yaar” or “array” we just use lol when we text even when it’s not funny.
I am 65 years old. At 18 I took lessons from a woman who was the leading student of the top, and still most renown belly dancer in San Francisco. My teachers name was Rhea, and up until a few years ago was still Greece’s most renown dancer. So when I say I know my stuff, you know my credentials. Your video is the best beginner video I have ever seen. You point out and show the important nuances so important to dancing both properly and authentically. I also like the mirror, which gives the viewer a better angle of what your legs, knees, and hips are actually doing. The legs and knees are the key. This surprises so many people I have done demos for. I will be forwarding this to others who have expressed a desire to learn at home.
That arm wave is the most unexpectedly difficult move I have ever encountered. I thought I had strong arms. I really did. But sixty seconds of arm movements and my biceps are crying for mercy.

I liked it sooo much, i'm struggling with depression and other mental problems and try to learn better coping skills. Instead of always yoga I tried bellydancing and I felt in love. Your so happy and energetic. And its not hard and nice to follow. I like short workouts. Al happy feelings after im done. Im going to do more of your video's. Thanks
Hey, I'm watching these for the same reason. It's tough sometimes to even do anything and the fact you're doing it too, instead of sitting and watching it on your tablet (like I am) is incredible. Good for you girl. Kinda makes me want to try to do it too.
Im a man, and its extremely rare to see dudes into bellydancing, but Ive always been really interested, and I wanted to learn bellydancing to get me more comfortable in my masculinity and also work out while having fun - this video was so much fun, it was a great introduction!! cant wait to keep practicing
i want to learn to bellydance for so many reasons - primarily because i'm Middle Eastern, and my grandmother was a bellydancer, and it's part of my culture, but also because it's just so beautiful in a million ways. this video helped a lot!
Please don't stop posting these workouts for beginners. My hips feel so much looser and I just feel energized and invigorated! Thank you! I see the benefit of keeping up with these videos and I'm excited to see my improvement over time.
I am 65 and doing belly dancing with you for the first time in my life. I love the way you teach and explain the moves. You're a blessing in my life especially now. Thank you for offering the classes.
This instructor demonstrates something totally new so well! She makes it simple and doable I’m in my 50s, out of shape and excited to have run into this video Positive fun teacher
I'm almost 50 and taking up belly dancing as a way to improve my drumming, strengthen my core, and increase my flexibility and control in my back. This was just enough to challenge me while being simple enough to see that I will improve with practice. Thank you so much for giving something that I can comfortably work into my morning routine.
I really appreciated the focus on form and technique, which is really what takes belly dance to the next level. I've only had this for a couple weeks but I'm hooked and I know I will come back to it over and over again for its focus on the fundamentals, the advanced muscle control practice and instruction, and her graceful style. It's one of those courses that makes a difference fast and permanently. you can find out here t.co/4OA5AimJrl
I grew up as a dancer and my therapist recommended belly dancing - your teaching skills are amazing! I was smiling through the entire class. Your joy and ability to communicate through the camera is incredible. Thank you for sharing!!!!
1- I hate yoga & really can't due to artificial knees. 2- Recently had foot surgery and am wearing a boot x 6 weeks. So I cannot go on walks or do my rather vigorous gardening activities. Worried about gaining weight and remembered an OT friend learning to belly dance. Yeah, belly dancing with a boot on one's foot looks crazy but I don't care! Two thumbs up- Leilah- you are a terrific teacher!! I'm not at all coordinated (even without the boot) and I'm not frustrated and am enjoying this tremendously.
One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can't do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn't teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn't go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!
Hey Shawna! Thank you so much for this message! I am soo glad you have enjoyed belly dancing with me. Yes everyone can belly dance so I also so glad you did not give up. Keep up the dancing
Im 57 and loving this, such a great workout. I happen to have a hip scarf like that and I tell you what it is an inspiration to even workout more! Thanks Leilah ❤️
You popped up when I searched for Belly Dancing for beginners. I'm so jealous of your grace, I love the way you dance. And make it easy for newbs to start. Since I believe jealously is the minds way of telling us what we want, and want to be. I have to ask if you could coach me
Thank you for this! I signed up and paid to take actual classes and they just threw us right into a routine and I felt super lost. They didn't really take time to break down moves or anything. As a beginner to dance, and belly dance I felt overwhelmed and like I learned nothing. This is more of what I was looking for and expected in a beginner class. I learned more in this video than the classes I attended.
Found you last night and started picking up on the moves you were teaching. I have a new goal and that is to last the full 20+ mins. A little everyday. It's the small victories, also you have a really fun and encouraging teaching style, thank you so much for taking the time to make these learning videos, let's see how much of this stomach I can shed now : 3
Love this!!! I’ve been trying a bunch of different beginner tutorials and this is the best one for learning how to isolate the small movements in the hips. I also appreciate that the mirror gives us a good angle of your profile so we can see how much to bend our legs. Thank you!
I love this style of teaching - so many little validations and encouragements along the way, it really felt like she was watching me learn and encouraging me along the way. Plus i got to do my first belly dance ever and felt like I kinda nailed it!
I cannot begin to say how happy I am that I found your channel. I've always wanted to learn bellydancing but all the videos I found don't show you how to do moves. They just show you the dance and expect you to follow. You break it down and explain it flawlessly 🥰💕💃💕
Today this afternoon me my 2 aunties who are 56 years old and 59 years old, find it extremely hard to do exercises due to our ill health and bad knees, we came across this video and before you knew it the entire family elderly joined in, it was soon easy and carming , not too stressful on our bodies, we've decided to do this video every week as a work out for us, as we found it easy enough so none of us got too exhausted, we did however atop for a few breaks to take a breath and drink water that's because where so out of shape . But soon as we caught our breath we all got up again to continue. Finally found video for elderly to enjoy and have fun at the same time. Thank you love for spreading love.
I’ve been wanting to learn this forever. Then I found you and you gave me confidence and made it seem so easy. Well not totally but if I keep watching you I will master it. Thank you so much for making a UA-cam channel to teach ❤️
Leilah is amazing, very good at explaing and showing every move smoothly and thoroughly while talking you through every single move. I love her tutorials!!
You are very good! My daughter of 5 yrs. old & I are really getting this Thank you! Idk why so many people gave you a thumbs down, goes to show you how much hate there is in this world. We really loved your video.
dearest Leilah ~ thank you so much for being so available ~ i found you on my first thought to learn bellydancing ~ 68 yrs old here, how refreshing and this will help me sooo much! be blessed!
Came here to find a fun way to workout. I absolutely hate working out but I thought of belly dancing which gives you the workout but your also picking up a skill!
So happy you like it Aya, and I will for sure be posting more beginners soon. I hope you join my Virtual online classes too, the first one will be March 12th. You can find out more on my website, www.leilahbellydancer.com Leilah x
Haven't tried belly dancing in like 10 years so I decided to try again, found your video and I loved it. I like the way you explained every movement. You're awesome!
Found u today…..I m so happy…I used to dance in school time…it will help me learn belly dance and also stay active- I m size 4 want to come down to size 2 in 2 mnths……hope it helps me😊
Yasss!!!! You made me move for 25 straight minutes! And I was smiling every single one of them! Thank you! Just what I needed during these difficult times! Love from Spain 🇪🇸
You're good. My son's taekwondo class showed us the importance of hip movements and balance. Basically the body control you're demonstrating. He then wanted to be a football player. Every pro scout talks about the ability to flip the hips. You explain it so it's understandable. Most sports folks show violent movements more likely to injury. You do it stronger but I really appreciate that you're showing people how to move ourselves in space. Not about beating any other opponent. When my kid can do a hip circle without looking like he's breaking and do any kick without falling over, mission accomplished.
Doing home chores so much fun now.mopping,cooking,watering plants,ironing,washing dishes etc my hips accompany me.even when watching tv,on shower,walking at home❤❤❤
Wow, you actually motivated me to get off the couch, that never happens! I want to join your online class but I will be at work at 1:30 p.m. (in US). I hope you get to do more of the virtual classes so I can join during the summer! :)
Omg! That is so wonderful! I also introduced it to my mum and she comes to my classes! Thank you for dancing with me! I hope you join my Virtual online classes too, the first one will be March 12th. You can find out more on my website, see you soon! www.leilahbellydancer.com Leilah x
I really like your teaching, the pace is great, your instructions are clear, not too complicated and fun at the same time. Even when I mess up, there's room for recovery. I love your tutorial more than so many others out there.
This was amazing! I’ve been dreaming about belly dancing for few years and this definitely was the most supportive and fun class for a beginner. I laughed and enjoyed so much! 🙌🏻🌸🧞♀️
Leilah, I recently discovered your channel and am loving your videos. I am currently recovering from foot surgery and am finding your videos helpful for working out other body parts that have gone south since being laid up in recovery. I can stand on both feet, but can't yet travel or put pressure on the injured foot, so I just modify when need be. Thank you for helping me in my recovery journey with these amazing lessons. We will have to grab a cuppa next time I head across the pond to London!
Well this changed my mood for the day! I had been wanting to do this video since you uploaded it but kept postponing, today was just perfect. It's so much more tiring than it looks, as usual!
The other day it dawned on me after starting Noom about fitness classes of some sort and I remembered a good friend from years ago in my childhood that took belly dance lessons in Boston and she had the best waistline I ever saw! I thought about it and said you know I think I could do that no matter what your size you can always move and the more you do it the better you’ll become I need to reduce my core and it also strengthens those other areas that older women have issues with I’m so excited to get started the dance is beautiful and so are you! Thanks for teaching! I’m hoping there are belly dance events in the Boston area that we can also see our attend with others as inspiration 😉
you're a great teacher, i was searching for a beginners tutorial in order to do the exercises for a old pelvic injury but this got me very excited about belly dancing, i was following your video and i looked in the mirror for the first time ever at my belly and said wow what a wonderful thing its beautiful, thank you for changing my perspective on life and getting me excited about this dance form
I've always wanted to learn and it's always been hard for me. I finally found something that I can follow!! Finally getting active again a few months after c section. It was definitely do able the way you introduced everything. I will likely do thus once a day until I can started to get more practiced. Thank you for this!!
I had many issues in belly dancing i know how to move just don't know how to put it together and what is wrong i was doing, i got in many belly dancing classes online and in the club nothing really helped me tell i saw your channel know I understand what i was doing wrong. I just want to thank you and wish you the best of luck and happiness. Thank you for all your help🧡🙏🏻
Just got really interested in belly dancing and found this beautiful woman and she makes it so much fun and isn't intimidating in the least! This is just my second watch through and I'm already getting the hang of it! I'm going to be fit by Summer and I cannot wait to show off my skills! 💃😍
Constant hard worker always gets a glorious success and always all of you keep going to ahead and ahead and the almighty God bless to all of you for your bright future with my Heartiest all the best.
Thank you so much! I have been trying out beginner videos for the past 3 days and already my posture is better! I can even sneeze without hurting my lower back, and I’m correcting my weak ankle that turns in. Love your videos so much! They really are enhancing my life! Thank you again!
I want to tell you that I adore your short videos to get me started on feeling my core and belly again. Your energy is so uplifting and full of joy. Thank-you and bless you forever and always. 🌈
Thank you for introducing this beginners Belly Dancing video. Your teaching motivates me to making those moves. I did belly dancing classes many years ago, but now want to introduce it back into my exercise routine. Dancing is a funn way of keeping in shape. Thank you.
Didn't make it through the whole video yet, but thank you! I love this, its such a fun way to workout and exactly what I was looking for. This video is really easy to follow!

Yes the arms were the most difficult
trueeeeeeeee
My hips are literally getting mad and needed a break 🤪
For me, it's not if my arms are strong or not. I need to work on coordination lol That is not a thing I'm good at.

I agree. The movement is so hypnotizing 💕💕
Your hand movements are so fluid, just beautiful 😍 thanks for this video. My first time trying belly dancing 💃
Haven't tried belly dancing in like 10 years so I decided to try again, found your video and I loved it. I like the way you explained every movement. You're awesome!
Found u today…..I m so happy…I used to dance in school time…it will help me learn belly dance and also stay active- I m size 4 want to come down to size 2 in 2 mnths……hope it helps me😊
I'm so lucky i found this video she is the best teacher! OMG! she makes this so easy!!
Yasss!!!! You made me move for 25 straight minutes! And I was smiling every single one of them! Thank you! Just what I needed during these difficult times! Love from Spain 🇪🇸
first time i've followed a workout tutorial from start to finish and still wanting more.... thank you sooo much for this
who’s else is here trying to learn to belly dance by the end of quarantine
Hahah meee
I had a dare for it 💀🔫
We still in quarantine, did you learn any?
@@mtlchikk1051 nope😂 i gave up
@@evie4010 i'm screaming 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're good. My son's taekwondo class showed us the importance of hip movements and balance. Basically the body control you're demonstrating. He then wanted to be a football player. Every pro scout talks about the ability to flip the hips. You explain it so it's understandable. Most sports folks show violent movements more likely to injury. You do it stronger but I really appreciate that you're showing people how to move ourselves in space. Not about beating any other opponent. When my kid can do a hip circle without looking like he's breaking and do any kick without falling over, mission accomplished.
Doing home chores so much fun now.mopping,cooking,watering plants,ironing,washing dishes etc my hips accompany me.even when watching tv,on shower,walking at home❤❤❤
Fabulous workout my seven year old and I enjoyed ourselves very much. Keep smiling ❣️
aww I love that!! i am so happy you both enjoyed it! Keep up the dancing, both of you 😁
Wow, you actually motivated me to get off the couch, that never happens! I want to join your online class but I will be at work at 1:30 p.m. (in US). I hope you get to do more of the virtual classes so I can join during the summer! :)
I just did this with my mom to introduce her to it since I now love belly dancing because of you :) She loved it! Thank you for this ♡
Omg! That is so wonderful! I also introduced it to my mum and she comes to my classes! Thank you for dancing with me!
I hope you join my Virtual online classes too, the first one will be March 12th. You can find out more on my website, see you soon!

I really like your teaching, the pace is great, your instructions are clear, not too complicated and fun at the same time. Even when I mess up, there's room for recovery. I love your tutorial more than so many others out there.
I've been searching for a long time a good teacher like you on you tube whom i can learn doing belly dance
You are such a good teacher
you just made my evening! was kind of stuck in corona-quarantine blues, but your vid made me move and get active
Same here 😊
Same :P
This was amazing! I’ve been dreaming about belly dancing for few years and this definitely was the most supportive and fun class for a beginner. I laughed and enjoyed so much! 🙌🏻🌸🧞♀️
It's mesmerizing how fluid your arms and hands are. I love it 💗
I am 80 and going to try and learn..a great teacher…😊
Leilah, I recently discovered your channel and am loving your videos. I am currently recovering from foot surgery and am finding your videos helpful for working out other body parts that have gone south since being laid up in recovery. I can stand on both feet, but can't yet travel or put pressure on the injured foot, so I just modify when need be. Thank you for helping me in my recovery journey with these amazing lessons. We will have to grab a cuppa next time I head across the pond to London!
I love this so much my three girls and I are having fun learning belly dancing. Please put more beginning tutorials if you haven't already done it.
Well this changed my mood for the day! I had been wanting to do this video since you uploaded it but kept postponing, today was just perfect. It's so much more tiring than it looks, as usual!
I'm a boy and learning this... Is it bad? I love this dance for some reasons.
It’s not bad at all. 😊
Nope nothing wrong with it
Tq so much.. I learned it and now my waist hurt... BUT I LOVEEE IT
@@gorgieee2047 😂 same quarantine has me doing the weirdest things
I think it's GREAT that you are learning this dance!! Don't let anyone bully you or talk you out of it!!
The other day it dawned on me after starting Noom about fitness classes of some sort and I remembered a good friend from years ago in my childhood that took belly dance lessons in Boston and she had the best waistline I ever saw! I thought about it and said you know I think I could do that no matter what your size you can always move and the more you do it the better you’ll become I need to reduce my core and it also strengthens those other areas that older women have issues with I’m so excited to get started the dance is beautiful and so are you! Thanks for teaching! I’m hoping there are belly dance events in the Boston area that we can also see our attend with others as inspiration 😉
you're a great teacher, i was searching for a beginners tutorial in order to do the exercises for a old pelvic injury but this got me very excited about belly dancing, i was following your video and i looked in the mirror for the first time ever at my belly and said wow what a wonderful thing its beautiful, thank you for changing my perspective on life and getting me excited about this dance form
I've always wanted to learn and it's always been hard for me. I finally found something that I can follow!! Finally getting active again a few months after c section. It was definitely do able the way you introduced everything. I will likely do thus once a day until I can started to get more practiced. Thank you for this!!
