Belly Dancing Lessons: Warm Up

I am often asked  to suggest warm-up and cool down exercises for belly dancers. It’s vital before you begin all your belly dancing lessons that you always warm-up your muscles, even if you are only dancing gently, as you are using muscles you do not tend to use in everyday life. If your teacher does not encourage you to warm-up before a class or teach you a safe and effective routine to do so, they are not doing their job properly.

Let’s start with warm-ups. Expert village provide some great “how to” videos, and I love Zahira’s belly dancing videos. Unfortunately, her warm-up video is a bit short but the advice she gives is great:

For a more practical, comprehensive warm-up keep watching – I’ve got more where that came from.
