I have added this to the Intermediate category because, although it has been created for a beginner class, it does require a certain amount of knowledge of belly dance moves, plus you will need to break the moves down for yourself from the video.

Just love this music! And HUGE props to Ebony from Australia who is the choreographer of this piece. See more at the Ebony and Ivory channel on Youtube

This first video from Inanna Brint Ali introduces you to the Zills and tells you more about what to look for when buying:

They look so beautiful and flowing.

Here is a video of Meital from 5min.com demonstrating how to perform them. She actually goes beyond the basic Figure8s which is why I have posted it under Intermediate as well.
