Shape Up with Belly Dance Lesson 6 - Beginner Class is a belly dance workout where I teach you the classic moves of belly dance as you tone your body and learn to control your muscles. In this beginner belly dance fitness class, we warm up with belly dance posture and balancing exercises in a classic belly dance pose, then we learn and practice basic belly dance moves—snake arms, circling arms, shoulder rolls, chest circles and slides, small hip circles (omi) and twists, double hip drops, vertical hip figure 8, hip shimmies and shoulder shimmies. As we shape our bodies in the class exercises, I teach you the art of belly dance with its isolations, layers, and concepts of improvisation. Learning these belly dance steps with the rhythm of the live drum (known in the belly dance community as drum solo) is so much fun you won't even realize what a great workout you are getting. Nothing gets your whole body in shape like belly dancing!

About JENSUYA
I began my "training" in 1973 when most of my childhood was spent overseas immersed in other cultures. In 2002, I began belly dancing with classes, workshops, self-guided study, and more travel to the Middle East. Two years later, I and my husband, musician Robert Peak (yep, our beloved Drummer Bob), founded our music and dance ensemble, TarabRaqs. Since then, we have produced and performed in hundreds of live music and belly dance shows. With honors bestowed by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the American Turkish Association, and two feature profiles on the U.S. Government-funded MBN, Middle East Broadcast Network, broadcasting to over 24 million viewers in the Middle East, we are on the forefront of Middle Eastern dance in America. Hamdullallah!
