What are the essentials of belly dancing?

basic element

1. Linear lifting of span (Simi)

Simi, formerly known as Shimmy in English and translated as swing in Chinese, means fast swing in belly dance.

Force point: cross

Trajectory: the span of the upper and lower straight lines.

Action essentials

The legs are slightly flexed to keep the knees elastic, which requires the upper body to keep upright and consciously command, and the slow motion range is large, and the acceleration range is reduced. Finally, the acceleration becomes jitter, forming a cross sago.

2. Turn the hip top span

Force point: across the hips

motion trail

When standing in the virtual step position, the body leans back slightly, and the span of strength legs and hips is turned upward and topped in an arc, which requires the upper body to maintain a normal posture, and the upper body and lower body cannot swing at the same time, squeezing and twisting internal organs to cause suffocation and visceral pain.

Change legs

After the second beat of the top span, kick two feet and change the top span of the leg. Noun explanation: the main leg is the supporting leg; Strength legs are legs for exercise.

3. Chest translation

Force point: chest

Motion trajectory: the chest moves linearly from left to right, and moves linearly from front to back (up and down).

Action essentials

The left and right translation uses both sides of the chest to feel the side, and the back and forth translation uses the upper chest and lower chest to feel the movement. Require lower body positioning and head positioning.

4. The chest is flat and round

Force point: chest

Motion trajectory: Draw a circle parallel to the ground on the chest.

Action essentials

Position the lower body, position the head, feel the movement with your chest and draw a circle parallel to the ground.

Action remake

Side point. You can stand in the T position.

5. Horizontal eight words

Force point: cross

Trajectory: Cross draw a figure parallel to the ground.

Action essentials

The upper body is positioned in a graceful posture, and the lower body is driven by the span. Tilt the span backward, draw an arc forward, and then move in the opposite direction. Draw the span into an arc, as round, full and coherent as possible.

6. Point span

Force point: cross

Trajectory: a point under a single-span straight line. Action essentials: upper body positioning, imaginary step, leg slightly forward, first step up and then straight down. Require clean movements, the whole body can not ups and downs, shaking, only striding. Heavy action: the person who gives the order.

7. Point hips and lift hips

Power supply point: upper hip

Hips pointing up in a straight line. Action essentials: In fact, this action only needs to use the hips to feel the action, but many students can easily use the waist to do the action when they first start learning. Doing the action with the waist for a long time is easy to cause lumbar muscle strain, so this action is generally taught to students who have a certain understanding of belly dancing.

8. Single span of eight characters

Psionic point: the span of a psionic leg

Draw an ∞ line perpendicular to the ground in front of your body.

Action essentials

When you need to step, use the power of the cross to do the action to minimize the ups and downs of your body. The two circles of "∞" should try to keep the same size.

9. Single-span transverse vertical circle (inside and outside)

Force point: cross

Draw a circle "○" parallel to the car body and perpendicular to the ground. Action essentials: put your legs together, stand on tiptoe, and draw a vertical circle across the strength leg. The inward vertical ring requires upward and inward extrusion, and the side waist; The outward vertical circle requires parabolic movement from the inside out to lengthen the side waist.

10. Internal characteristics of chest

Force point: chest

The chest painting is perpendicular to the ground. Action essentials: lower body positioning, upper body with animation "∞" off the chest. First, squeeze under the chest oblique, then extend outward and draw an arc upward, then turn back in the opposite direction to squeeze under the chest oblique, and extend outward and draw an arc upward to recover. Be careful not to use shoulder clamping force.

1 1. Translation of the neck (front and back; Left, right)

Stress point: neck

Make a straight line parallel to the ground from left to right or from front to back. Action essentials: when translating left and right, stick your temples and cheeks on the side; Forward and backward translation is driven by chin.

12. Soft fingers

Force points: fingers and wrists

Trajectory of motion: fingers extend from one section to another. Exercise essentials: First, gently lift your wrist, hold it back with your fingers, and push out your knuckles from the inside out. Require flexibility and beauty.

13. Lift the lower abdomen

Force point: lower abdomen

Motion trajectory: lift the lower abdomen. Action essentials: the lower body is slightly positioned, the lower abdomen is lifted upwards, and the most important thing is to require a crisp and powerful action.

14. Swing (back and forth)

Force point: cross

Motion trajectory; Draw an arc "(",")" (left and right span) forward or backward.

15. Swing your shoulders

Force point: shoulder

Move your shoulders back and forth in a straight line.

Action essentials

First of all, learn to move back and forth on one shoulder, swing back and forth directly, and don't buckle your shoulders or drive your body or arms. When you swing your shoulders at the same time, pay attention to the same swing range of your shoulders and keep your shoulders relaxed and sinking. The lower body can stand at the back t point.

16. Internal characteristics of span

Force point: cross

Draw "∞" perpendicular to the ground. Action essentials: draw a cross character inward, requiring the middle cross part to be stiff, and the circles on both sides of the character should be as full and coherent as possible. Heavy action: The underlined bar in the middle of "∞" is a remake.

17. Flat collar

Stress point: neck

Draw a "χ" parallel to the ground on your neck. Action essentials: bring the animation to a flat circle with your chin and keep a natural facial expression.
