Tribal Fusion Bellydance May-June Series: Class 6 Notes

Wow! We have just 2 more weeks left!
Thanks to all who came to class last night. I didn't know that crazy storm was brewing! Hope everyone is safe.

Here is the new material we covered:

1. Torso rotation: Starting from the left side and circling back around to the right, your center point describing a heart shape, with snake arms layered over it. Remember to keep the elbows up.

2. ATS Camel Walk: Step with the right foot onto the balls of the feet as you press down with the right hand and raise the left overhead. Keeping all your weight on the right foot, bend your right knee and extend the left foot to the side. Right arm goes up and left hand reaches toward extended left foot. Straighten your right leg as you draw the left foot in, and layer an arm undulation over a small torso rotation to bring you back to center. Finish with an undulation starting chest down (up to down).

3. ATS Choo choo arc turn: (modified) Arms in flamenco position with right arm parallel to the floor and left arm straight up. With body facing front, right heel up and right toes pointing to the right, right hip bumps for 8 counts. Then Right hip bumps continuous for another 8 counts while you bring left arm down to meet right arm in front 2 counts. Slightly raising both wrists, then pivot around to the left, bringing both hands to the right hip as you turn to the back. Sweep arms around to the left, up and overhead to complete, ending with arms in starting position. Repeat on the right.
Repeat twice on the left side.
