Instructional Belly Dance Video Clip

The first belly dance video clip is truly instructional as it teaches you some basic movements. This video clip is from the Magical Motion BellyDance Video - the first of the series.

This video clip teaches you about the 3 basic ribcage circles that are the core of the belly dance. These ribcage circle result in three different types of belly dance rolling motions. As you will see by watching this video - these belly dance movements exercise the mid-section very thoroughly. In addition, they massage the spine and entire abdominal area bringing wonderful health benefits.

In this belly dance video clip you will also learn how to perform the horizontal ribcage circle. For a horizontal ribcage circle, pretend that you are standing in the middle of a large circle painted on the floor. Isolate the ribcage and trace the circle with the diaphragm and ribcage. Make sure the shoulders stay level as you trace your circle.

You can try this belly dance video clip at home. However with this video clip, and all belly dance movements, don’t over-do it at first. A subtle circle looks just as nice as a dramatic one. As you make the diaphragm work, the abdominal area is affecting a horizontal or side-to-side belly dance rolling action.
