Hello all,
I have just started belly dancing classes in September, and I was hoping I could get some suggestions on things that will help me work on some stuff over the holidays (new classes don't start until mid-January).
My instructor seems to be a fairly good fit for me (so far anyway), her teaching style incorporates a lot of the follow the bouncing butt routine, as well as breakdowns of the moves. A little of each is the best way for me to learn, so I'm learning quite a lot, but I don't think I am learning a lot of the basics. She is teaching some moves that may be too advanced for a beginner (although I do seem to be able to learn some of them), and leaving out a lot of bare bones basics. (my only real complaint with her)
So, what I am hoping is that someone can suggest a good DVD that I can buy. Or maybe someone can point me to a good website, or whatever other suggestions you might have. I'm looking for something that focuses on teaching me how to move my abdominal and other torso muscles in the correct manner. Such as: 'Here's an exercise that will help develop muscleA, here's another exercise that will help develop muscleB', etc... Right now I can barely move them independently at all, and I need to practice, practice, practice.
