Beginner Bellydance Level 1
This series is perfect for true beginners and includes:
4 technique breakdowns
4 practice drills for those techniques
2 routines incorporating those techniques to apply what you learned through choreography
I chose these techniques as the starting point because they are relatively easy to break down, are quintessential belly dance moves that form the basis for more advanced combinations, and will make you feel like a star when put together in a routine.
You will learn detailed breakdowns at a gradual pace through focused repetition to make it easier to pick up.
