Скачать или смотреть Bellydance Floorwork

Are you ready to put some exciting floor work into your dance choreography? Though floor work isn't traditional nor necessary, sometimes a piece of music can incorporate a moment that is very beautiful and filled with emotion and tension that supports floor work. I typically use it in stage pieces, and sometimes in a restaurant setting if there is adequate room between myself and an audience.

The history of belly dance includes a time when floor work was not only seen as scandalous, but was absolutely forbidden. Today, there are those who have reintroduced floor work while leaving the scandal behind.

In this video, I show you one way to get down on the floor gracefully using a "hesitation" turn -- that is, counter-balanced motion that allows you to cast yourself onto the ground without hitting your knee by sliding onto the flesh on the outside of your thigh. Of course, you could use a simple level change to get yourself onto the ground, but I show you yet another way to do that. Also, I show you the set up for doing reclined vajrasana (the end position of the Turkish drop), or the backbends you see tribal belly dancers use in their choreographies.

With me in this video: my Applehead Siamese cat, Charles-Monet, who is actually his own kind of movement specialist!
