How you inspire me! I'm having a hip replacement Wednesday and I was so upset I wouldn't be able to bellydance again. I read your article and came straight to KZbin to see you dance. We've been at BBB together before. Chelydra was my teacher. Thank you so much for the encouragement 😊

Thank you so much for sharing this I've been belly dancing for over 18 years and I'm about to get a total hip joint replacement. See you be able to move still agter surgery has really helped to put me at ease a bit, that I will notnloose my dancing. Thank you for sharing 😊

Thank you! Before I found this I was watching some other "beginner" zill videos and the teachers went way too fast. I was ready to give up! This is just the right speed for my clumsy fingers! (and thumbs).

I love you zill videos

Hi: how do I get access pass for full playlist? Thank you

Out of all the videos teaching Zill, yours is the only one that is shown me how to keep the beat. Thank you you are really good instructor at teaching beginners how to learn!

💝💝💝

Oh, I found a treasure in youtube

Amazing, magic, delicated! 😍💃🏻🙏🏻💖✨

Nice!!!

I have this show on video, I am looking for a dancer named Jade, I can't find her. Do you have this whole show?

Your instructional videos are such amazing! You did a lot of work. For me, the rolls 4 are the most difficult pattern. Do you have tips for the flips? Thanks. Sonia from france.

Obrigada. Amei a aula!!

Thanks a lot for these videos. They help me with learning zills. Kisses from Spain💃👏👏😘

Umm da freak

This is really good! Thank you

Ten years later, this is still inspiring! Can't thank you enough for sharing :)

I have another method of teaching how to play zills. You might want to check it out. It's base on "there are only 3 beats to play them on, full beats, half beats and quarter beats". Once you learn the easy way to do that, you just match them to the music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKPbfKyjg5qFZrM

Thanks for the awesome videos! They're exactly what I was looking for !! 👍🏻😻

Good at

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your videos! They are very helpful and beautiful! You are awesome teacher!

This is a great practice video!

THANKS!!!!!

I've only gone through Video #1 so far and I've found it the easiest lesson in basic zill patterns I've come across yet. I had the biggest smile on my face when going through the patterns using my arms. Thank you so much for making this available.

This is wonderful Anthea! It will be very helpful when I am practicing at home.

Wow searching for examples for taqsims & here I find you. Always a pleasure.

That music was my first song! :-)

This is soooo much better than twerking. Beats it by a long shot. It's an artform. Not only is it good exercise & a skill, it is much more conducive to one's self image, not to mention one's public image. Excellent excellent breakdown of technique. You are a good teacher. : ]

I'm so glad I found this instructional video. Sooo, helpful! Please continue to share your beautiful talent and wonderful teaching methods. Top, top, top notch. Thank you!

Beautiful!!

*I'm excited to see how this new dance turns out.* Instead of music, it'll be done to the rhythms of finger cymbals - played by dancers waiting their turn to dance down the line... My students should be ready to debut it at our annual bellydance show in August!

*A look back to **_last month_* This video is from one of our recent shows. Only four of us could make it, so I was happy to perform with my group, the PRISM Belly Dancers of Fredericksburg VA even though I was pretty much disabled on one side. I even did a solo, a short folkloric number using cane. Ironic! My left hip's been replaced now, so soon I'll be teaching the new one to dance! #hipreplacement #antheaship

I just got my zills this morning, my very first pair, after having my very first belly dance lesson yesterday. I am so excited to start belly dancing, I can't wait to get something going, lol! Thanks for giving me my first insight about what to do and how to do it... this walking on a 4 beat and "zilling" on 8ths or 16th looks easier than it is, I fear... we shall see! Off to practice I go! Question: I would say, the thumb is a good guess for the one, but is there an absolute finger for the other zill, or can it be either ring or middle finger? Please let us know!

Thanks again and let us know, if you will make DVD to practice with!!! You are awesome!!! =)

Thank you so much! Your vides are very helpful and fun to practice with! =)
