If you aren't taking lessons, you should find an instructor. You definitely have potential. You learn so much in a class, not only from the instructor, but from the other students. Plus, you can usually get information about dance workshops, performances, events in the area from others. Taking a class should help you use your arms to frame your movements. That's something that comes easier to some than others. It's something that I constantly have to be aware of. One big no-no in belly dance is touching yourself in inappropriate ways. You should also learn cultural nuances from an instructor. You might want to check with a gym or recreation center in your area. Sometimes they have dance classes. You can look on Shira's website. http://www.shira.net/ http://www.shira.net/directory.htm#Listi... Middle Eastern Dance website http://www.middleeasterndance.net/ http://www.middleeasterndance.net/Dancer... Both of these sites have lots of great info about belly dance. You can e-mail or call some of the dance instructors to find out more about their background, their style of instruction, what they expect from students, and fees they charge for classes. If you don't find a teacher listed for your area, you might want to contact one from the websites and find out if they may know of an instructor who may live closer to you. I hope you find a teacher that you like. If one teacher's style doesn't suit your learning style, try another. I've known some dancers to take awhile finding a setting that worked for them. Good luck!! You've got some natural talent there, very swift in your movements! keep it up! You are really but, but i think you should do different things with your arms b/c you were doing different things and then you went into doin nearly thesame handmovements. youre really good though!! keep it up!! here's a tip...STOP! awesome i have just started bellydancing i hope i can get that good That's cool, Belly dancing, Adny Woorahall is right, every one will ge thier seventeen seconds or minutes of fame., you look like full fo fun.
