Welcome to Luscious Hips For Belly Dancers. Technique & Choreography

This course is designed for intermediate+ belly dance students, professional belly dancers and belly dance teachers.

The course will consist of three parts:

• In part one we are going to focus on warming up the entire body, upper body exercises, and intermediate to professional belly dance hip technique

• In part two we are going to learn a brand-new drum solo choreography. The music is called Adarabuka, composed by Khader Ahmad.

• Part three is your assessment. This assessment is optional. You will be offered to learn, practice and record yourself doing Adarabuka choreography.

The techniques learnt in this course are focused on improving the hip range of motion, joint flexibility, body control & isolations. Shimmies and dynamic stretches are a great way to loosen up tight hips and to create more energy in the area.

The Adarabuka choreography can be learned and performed solo or a group number. This choreography would work for various occasions whether it’s a belly dance student hafla or a professional performance at a large celebration.

I picked this music because it’s very dynamic and energizing with a unique drum beat. Everytime I perform this choreo I find people have a hard time staying seated! Although the music is fast paced and dynamic it has some slower sections with takasim & soft melody. Some of these sections can be improvised if desired, but keep in mind: the best improvisation - is a well prepared improvisation!

Please do not hesitate contacting me if you have any questions or suggestions. Have loads of fun while learning!
