Belly Dance for Beginners: Technique and Combinations from Udemy

Through belly dance you can train muscles that no other activity can reach, strengthen your core, develop flexibility and achieve graceful and fluid body coordination. Moreover, belly dance will give you benefits beyond just physical ones, such as a boost in self-confidence, reconnecting your mind with your body and practicing self-love and self-care.

With this course I hope to enable the complete beginner to confidently take their first steps on their belly dance journey.

This course is ideal for those who never had any experience in bellydance, or even dance in general, as well as for those who may have already began their dance journey and want to take their skills to the next level with solid foundations.

I designed this course in a simple manner that you can adapt to your needs, whether you have only 15 mins or several hours to practice. Each section combines a related group of movements with a detailed explanation of each one, and a summary dance combination to practice new skills.

The key point of this course is to motivate and inspire you to learn, grow, and succeed in your belly dancing journey. Although some steps are easier and can be learned faster, others require more time and practice. However, no matter what the obstacles are, challenge yourself to become better with every new step.

С помощью танца живота вы можете тренировать мышцы, которых не может достичь никакая другая деятельность, укрепить корпус, развить гибкость и достичь изящной и плавной координации тела. Более того, танец живота принесет вам пользу, помимо физической, например, повысит уверенность в себе, восстановит связь между разумом и телом и проявит любовь к себе и заботу о себе.
