Hi! I am Kerri Hernandez and I am here today on expert village to talk to you about belly dancing. For the belly dance class you want to wear something that is form fitting so you can feel you are doing and something like this will be great, a unitard, a leotard, tank top. Something that you feel comfortable in so that you can enjoy your practice as well as you want to start with a warm up and stretch and then finish with the cool down. I find it very important if you are learning the choreography to go home and practice so that it sticks in your mind and then practice at least once or twice a week and you will find that you will do really well. Also one of the most important things to have for belly dance practice is a hip scarf because then you can really see the accents on the moves you are doing and you can really feel it better. One more thing about belly dance is that everybody has different terminology so this is just mine and it may be called something else from a different instructor. These are just the basic belly dances. The next thing that I am going to teach you is basic alignment for belly dance. Generally when you are standing in place, you want to have your feet fairly close together and your knees slightly bent your tail bone tucked under hold your chest up, shoulders down that’s basic alignment for belly dance.
