Description
Bellydance
Basics & Beyond is a 2 hr. 20 min. program designed to teach
the fundamental movements of bellydance and encourage their practice
in a wide range of dance combinations.
Jenna's methodical presentation of bellydance basics begins with POSTURE, the foundation on which dance movement is built. The BASIC ARMS section teaches you how to maintain and enhance a beautiful elongated body line through graceful positioning of the arms and hands.
WARMUP
includes select dance moves and dynamic stretches and is designed
as a light total-body workout.
The FOOTWORK section lays the foundation for traveling steps,
focusing on a number of patterns, such as basic walk, 2-step and
triple step traveling and ways to change directions.
ISOLATIONS of shoulders, ribcage and hips are building blocks
of bellydance movement. Jenna breaks down slides, lifts, drops,
arcs and sharp accents. Some of these elements are dance moves
in their own right, and others help to form compound moves.
COMPOUND MOVES are the essential vocabulary of bellydance - circles,
undulations and figure 8s. Jenna's technique of building them
from the smallest and most basic elements up, ensures that they
are performed with effortless grace. Next, Jenna shows how to
layer simple and compound moves on top of TRAVELING steps.
PRACTICE COMBINATIONS offer five 5-minute practice sessions made
from many exciting bellydance combinations. As you follow Jenna,
you can listen to the music together with her verbal cues or you
can select the music-only option. This section offers a series
of excellent technique drills and can be combined with the WARMUP
for a fantastic 30-minute moderate workout. The last session contains
stretches and can serve as a cooldown.
