Bellydance Basics & Beyond is a 2 hr. 20 min. program designed to teach the fundamental movements of bellydance. 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, two-step and triple-step traveling. Isolations are the building blocks of bellydance movement. Jenna breaks down slides, lifts, drops, arcs and sharp accents.

 

Compound Moves are the bellydance essentials – including circles, undulations and figure eights. Jenna's technique of building from the smallest and most basic elements up, ensures that they are performed with effortless grace. Practice Combinations offers five, 5-minute practice sessions of exciting bellydance combinations. As you follow Jenna you can listen to the music along with her verbal cues or you can select the music-only option.
