Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Johanna Krynytzky with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida and joining me today is Karen Sun Ray. Now we're going to drill our basic undulation at a sort of intermediate level. So let's start with our feet facing straight ahead, knees slightly bent, belly button pulled in, chest lifted, shoulders back and down, arms out and away from the body. We're going to start with the chest movement. The chest is going to come forward and then up and then we're going to lift it back and pull to center. Okay. Make sure you're not moving your shoulders with your body. This is just a chest isolation. Ready? So we're going to start; forward, up, lift, pull, then we're going to pull and sit. Forward, up, back, down and then you're going to pull down, okay. Let's try it with the music, so we're going to go; one and two and three and four. And one and lift on two and pull down three, pull on four. And one and lift on two, pull down three, tuck under on four. One more time. And one and lift on two and pull down three and four. Good. So practice that nice and slow so that you can break it down and eventually you get to speed it up."
