I love watching it and once Titi Rona leaves, I do intend to take some lessons.

Anyone here a dancer that preforms at all? Would love to hear some "black belly dancer" experiences. I can't seem to find very many black dancers that are famous in the belly dance realm.

My favorite dancer is alla kushnir, my bish is ALWAYS on point.

I recently started getting into Aziza of Cairo.

I gotta say, I actually prefer the Russians and Brazilians to middle eastern dancers. Yea you got the purity of the art thing, but the middle eastern girls are so subtle with their dancing that I find it a snooze-fest to watch.

The foreign girls are more..."wild" and entertaining, but that's probably my western palate for entertainment talking.

Please bring any opinions, thoughts, experiences, ideas in here. I'm bored and should be writing a paper right now.

I watch them sometimes on YouTube. I want to take some lessons, but don't know when I will be able to do it.

I prefer to watch the people dancing in their houses



I like some of the older ones, too, like Fifi Abdou



And some men

I did a short routine today as my warm up! They used to have classes at my gym. I was just thinking that I want to look into classes when this is over.

Yes I belly dance. Not professional but I do perform from time to time and ppl continuously ask me to teach!

there are very few Russian dancers I like. It’s not belly dance to me.. to fast to much and doesn’t even look like belly dance. I’m very picky about things like that because that’s how dances die out and are lost.

I learned from watching Fifi, soheir Sadie, Jillina and some others.

I love this dance. It is art to me

I was looking to start classes back in Febuary but all kinds of distractions started and March has been :dizzy:. Once normality resumes I'll hopefully take up the classes.

Does anyone have tips on how to do a vertical figure 8? I've watched countless videos but it's tricky and frustrating to get right.

I can do the upward vertical figure 8 a lot easier than the downward vertical figure 8.

It popped into my head recently. I would love to try it. I might try some beginners videos on you tube and see how i get on.
I’ve been following Kira on You Tube for years and I really like her style as she experiments with different type of music. She has done quite a few to trap music like below

UPDATE: I finally got it. I recommend core workouts that will help. Especially with this particular move.

I do, not often and not professionally, just as lil sexiness. My man prefers when I dance like a dancehall queen instead, so I don't get much practice anymore. On my Dad's side of the family, we randomly break out in belly dance at family gatherings. We just learn from the older folks. If you're not good you just stick to the shoulder dance and clapping for the ones who are. If you're good, you get money and stuff and have to be ready to break out whenever and wherever some granny or old auntie says so.

Key to it is core strength and breathing through your diaphragm like when you sing.

I don't have the coordination to do any kind of dance professionally but I use World Dance New York dvds for exercise sometimes. It really makes me more aware of my body and how I walk. Tribal Fusion is my favorite style.

I bought myself a hip scarf and started getting into it a bit. I remember watching FitTv's Shimmy videos and Irina Akulenko videos back when.

There used to be an exercise channel on Charter that had a show called Shimmy that I used to work out to. I got pretty good with some of the moves. Not as easy as it looks. I've looked into classes.

I just ran across the shimmy video a few days ago.

I really like watching Alla. This is my favorite video of her:


Another one I like to watch is Alex Delora. Alex has such a sexy vibe about her.


@CoCoD mentioned Sadie Marquardt. Sadie is fantastic, and I love this video of her bellydancing when she was six months pregnant with her son:
