Belly dance Details

Belly dance is primarily a torso-driven dance, with an stress on articulations of the hips.

Unlike several Western dance forms, the focus of the dance is on relaxed, natural isolations of the torso muscles, rather than on movements of the limbs through space.

Although some of these isolations seem superficially kind of like the isolations utilized in jazz ballet, they are typically driven otherwise and have a special feeling or stress.

 In common with most folk dances, there is no universally codified naming theme for belly dance movements.

Some dancers and dance schools have developed their own naming schemes, but none of these is universally recognised. Movements found in belly dance Many of the movements characteristic of belly dance will be sorted into the subsequent categories:
