#knowyourmentor Introducing a new mentor in our habbitat! There are many steps found in the various styles of belly dancing performed all over the world, but the classic steps that come back throughout several periods in the history of belly dancing are: • Shimmy - vibrating hips using the muscles of the lower back. You may shimmy front to back or side to side to create this vibration, and occasionally it is also performed in the shoulders. • Undulations - flowing, fluid movements throughout the body, including a pulsating rhythm of the chest and a circular twist of the hips and stomach regions • Hip hits - a sharp and quick pulsation of the hips moving out from the body. When performed up to speed, it looks as if the pelvis is swinging, but it is actually the weight of the legs pulsing quickly in alternation that creates the hip illusion. @nikitha_krishnan founder of @nk.bellydance is going to take all of you through her journey in #bellydance and bust some myths about this art while teaching you more about it! Join us tomorrow to get your hips moving and alleviate your mid-week work stress with us ;) . . . . . . . . #bellydance #fusionartist #bellydancefusion #indianfusionbellydancer #fusionista #worlddancefusion #instadailyvideo #indianfusionbellydance #performance #bellydance #nikithakrishnan #bellydancerindia #bellydanceartist #bellydancebangalore (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE63ByhjHAe/?igshid=1ggdcmqcvzmx2
