Hagalla Belly Dance Move

Video Transcript

"Let's learn the folkloric Hagalla Walk. This is kind of like a merengue kind of thing. So we're going to be bringing our foot forward and pushing the hip back, kind of letting the pelvis drop forward slightly. And then we're going to pull it in and then push the other hip back as this comes forward. So it's in, push back and push back, back and back and back. I'm going to show you from the side a little bit. Keep your chest lifted. Keep the belly button engage to the spine, back and back. So it's like a little walk. Push and push. And then you add the arms to it, and you have a really folkloric looking motion here. So keep the body lifted. And little faster. Back and back and back and back. Make sure you keep your feet under you. Keep the chest nice and still so that all the action is in the hips. That's it. Very good. Practice this in the mirror and make sure you have your weight going into the right place."
