Hello, everybody, my name is ganchipur. I was teaching a middle eastern belly dance with city of mountain view for over 15 years and, as you know, my classes start every wednesday 6 30 to 7 30.. This class is for beginners, but any level welcome to come to my class.

D

We would just start the class with the warm-up and then we would use some technique and, uh after that, when the student gets ready, we're gonna go to the choreograph and little by little added to our dance move every single day until the class is done, and I have the opportunity for students who really wants to be on the stage and perform with me and that's optional in middle eastern dance or belly dance.

D

We use a lot of props like uh tray, clear, grill or chiffon whale we use sword, some people use snake and use finger, symbols and cane, and so many different things, and I would love you to join my class today and we will just do a little simple thing that I want to show you. The first thing that we have to learn in middle easterners is to keep your posture up or to be able to do that. You can use a tray or a book put in your head.

D

I have a tray here, it's a metal and it's okay. If you fall because you're learning, you put, it um balance it in your head and you stretch your body all the way your neck has to be a stretch. Your body and you put your belly in and you open your arm and then very slowly.

D

You walk and walk and walk, and then we will be able to learn all the different moves from down to up side to side, hip and shame, and we will start our class now with a little simple basic belly dance move. Thank you! So much for.
