4/18/2012 08:34:30 PM Report AbuseI would really really recommend finding someone who is familiar with belly dance and having them teach you the moves. They are more effective with proper posture, and these instructions left me scratching my head. I did belly dance for years, and think you need to actively SEE the movement in order to learn it properly. It is, however, a great workout for both the body and the mind. The confidence you gain from it is incredible!
