Learn Cabaret Style Belly Dance, which will include blending slow movements
such as figure 8's, Ami-Ami, around the world, sways and rib cage isolations
into rich, varied portrayals where each move melts into the next, complimenting
a Chifte-teli or any other slow sinuous piece. Connecting fast steps,
such as basic Egyptian; advanced basic; hip bumps; 3 step; walks and
turns, with polished interludes and riveting accents. Arm and hand
movements to compliment your every move.
Manipulating the abdominals. Train your abs to do what you want them
to! You will learn the secret of first isolating and then contracting
the belly muscles, which will lead to belly rolls and flutters and
perhaps to flip coins and dollar bills.
