Hips

In this spotlight we will break down and drill all of the basic, head, chest, hip, and shoulder isolations. This is wonderful for anyone new to belly dance or the more advanced dancer looking to keep their isolation technique sharp and strong.

This spotlight is a part of the workshop: "Interesting and Innovative Isolations with Sedona".

This short spotlight will clearly break down the technique of the Egyptian style shimmy. We will hold the shimmy non-stop for five minutes with various speed and intensity. With consistent practice this drill will help you achieve a gorgeous powerful shimmy.

This spotlight is from Sedona's "Super Shimmies & Shimmy Layers" workshop.

This cool down is designed to stretch and open the hips. It's a wonderful cool down to do after any belly dance practice and especially for those who tend to experience tightness and tension in the hips. It will be helpful to have a yoga mat for this cool down.

This warm-up has a focus on warming the joints in the hips and the muscles that surround it as well as preparing the whole body for belly dance. It is suitable as a general preparation for belly dance and will be especially helpful for a practice with a focus on hip work.

This segment is part of Sedona's "Bold and Beautiful Big Hip Movements" workshop.

This brief cool down is wonderful to do after an extended shimmy session or any vigorous belly dance practice.
