Someone beat me to it!

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

Many people think of zills as props but they are actually musical instruments. A good quality zill will make a lot of difference to the sound quality and the contribution you make to the music.

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

Part 2 has not been posted yet to Revver but I will bring it to you as soon as it is.
