Belly Dance Tutorial For Beginners!! Lesson 1 | Posture and Chest Circles | Dance with Meher Malik

[@Wi11yKoonsi]

I thought I should mention that it takes more than 9 minutes to get the chest circle right. If you practice, practice, practice the 2 movements shown you will eventually get the chest circle. Unless you are already familiar with belly dance movements, this is not a movement we do in every day lives so don't be hard on yourselves and put in the practice.

[@romanigoddess3418]

Thanks for the encouragement! 😊😊😊I'm gonna try to keep at it. Because I want those banging belly abs...and also I'm Romanian and Portuguese. I feel like it's always been in my blood. 💗💗💗

[@carolinehardaker9368]

Even though it's just a small movement this is sooo difficult. I don't think I've ever used these muscles in my life

[@_Kulfii]

😂😂😂😂

[@KRS2012.]

Before its a sexy dance.. for me..,but this video explains that's an art,.....i am ashamed now. How much dedication needed . great girls...

[@SnarlingMaiden]

Im here practicing every day, and I am surprised that even in one day my muscles are sore, I am taking my time, and being consistent and really see a difference already in one week, this is so good for my quarantine period! Thank you for sharing this video and the rest of the play list!

I'm so glad I pulled this up. I danced until my then-husband (very abusive) flipped out and didn't want me "dancing sexy." I danced for myself, but he twisted my arms (sometimes literally). I miss dancing. I may only start again with KZbin, but I'll be dancing again. ETA: before anyone asks, yes, it's been years, and I briefly remarried, but my ex-wife was just as bad. She stopped me from studying because "cultural appropriation." I have terrible taste in spouses.

[@XDXC]

I’m so sorry hope your doing okay love, keep dancing ♥️♥️🙆

[@bernieyuen8445]

My digestion has increased ever since doing this. Thanks!

[@rachelbancroft426]

Love how she breaks it down to the muscles used. It will take a lot of practice to build those muscles but will help so much! Thank you!

[@SufiKingdom]

Great teacher omg! I was looking some creative way to stay fit, because I could not motivate myself using my treadmill 😂 I am sure learning belly dance with some Arabic beats will get me excited as well as help me to lose some calories. Looks like you’re very passionate in teaching your art. Kudos!!

[@heather379]

my mom used to be a belly dancer, tried to teach me and i wasn’t interested. i am now!!!! hoping to show off to her by learning something before i see her next in january:)

[@varungaur6262]

Before watching this video i considered belly dancing easier compared to other dance forms. Even an easy looking chest movement is so complex...

[@therieject]

I plan on practicing this video, along with the others, every week starting in June. I'll try to keep everyone updated!

[@shauryayadav9886]

I am also

[@therieject]

C Bee I’ve completed lessons 1-7 so far, but I’ve also been watching other videos for practice. I have chest lifts and drops down, as well as chest slides but I struggle a bit with chest circles. I’ve noticed that if I’m looking at myself in the mirror it’s harder to get any of these moves right, so I either practice with my eyes closed for a brief moment or I don’t use a mirror the entire practice. I try to belly dance for at least an hour a day. I will admit that I have not practiced in about four or five days though. My biggest issue is that I don’t know how to relax and have fun, but there are days when I really do try to just have fun with it. My belly dancing moves look so much better when I’m not trying too hard. I don’t like to go on to a new move until I feel confident in the others. I most likely will not learn the choreography in these lessons until after I’ve gotten every move down. I will say that I see improvement compared to last month! It really helps if you watch other tutorials, because you may find that other people’s techniques are easier than the ones shown in this series. I hope this helps. :)

[@kamalrandhawa6112]

Just want to thank you for showing us how to do everything correctly and revealing secrets that makes it easier. Keep up the good work

[@liveride59]

Excellent class, this is also the basis for Afro-Cuban body isolations 4:54. We do this thousands of times to loosen the rib cage. Circle 5:44. w/Music 6:40 You are lovely.

[@nandinishetye1929]

The explanation was so apt and clean I couldn't get a better learning experience, looking forward for more lessons mam. Awaiting.

[@GoddessLaurel]

Yes, I agree Mehar makes it look so easy. The chest pop is the most challenging for me.

[@zeesumz647]

You are the best teacher ever! Video is so on point and clear instructions and i can see the correct chest movements. I have tried to learn from other videos but the movements were so fast that the chest isolations werent very visible on how to actually move them! Thankyou for the videos n please do upload more after lesson 2. Lovvvve!

[@Happy-dr2rb]

I have been trying to learn how to belly dance for some time now and you have made my attempts so much easier. You have explained what not to allow my body to do. With practice I think I can almost be good. Thank you!

Hello from Jacksonville, FL. I’m 53. i am a beginner. I just had my first belly dance class and it was such a work out and so much fun. I was looking for tutorial and found you. I didn’t know you can move your chest like that! I’m going to practice and this will help me very much for my continuing on classes. I love you detailed explainations. Thank you very much. I just subscribed and will continue to learn! Thank you very much!

So far this is very good,simple and effective for beginners. The hardest chest exercise for me so far, I can feel my belly muscle working.

Dance is a passionate form to connect to the divine source. Thatz why when u dance u emote deeply whether happiness r sadness. It depicts one's feelings through expressions n body language. A big cheers to all lovely dancers for their awesome art bestowed from God n their effort to share n teach fellow beings.. God bless u all abundantly to spread n share ur talents. Great appreciation from my end to all dance teachers, learners n performers all over the world....

[@fatemarexinewala]

God bless you Meher! I couldn't have gotten a better gift than your personal tutorial on this special day. It was soul satisfying. Please (please please) do not stop making tutorials, for people like me who are passionate about this dance form but can't get trained from you. I always wanted to learn chest circles and viola, here was your video! I can't wait for you to create a video on the song - Hai Rama from Rangeela. I only wish you the best, stay blessed always!

[@leeannmisurella1561]

Omg. Ahhhh i have tried to belly dance on and off for years and i can never get it quite right. I was an athlete, cheerleader, cheer dance coach, & boxer. Ive always had such respect for the art of belly dancing, its such a beautiful difficult seduction. I just cant lift my chest up and down or side to side without moving my shoulders or hips. Your teaching style is top notch tho i must say. You broke it down so well that i might actually be able to pick it up if i keep repeating the moves daily til i get it! I cant wait for lesson 2. Lets hope it doesn't take me that long

[@sunainaroychowdhury5642]

This series has been extremely helpful for me to perfect my belly dancing and chest circles! Thank you so much ma'am, i'm really very grateful to you ❤

[@davidlorane4913]

There are a few things you can try 1. Start with the circle This one's the sexiest and easiest. All you need to do is feel the joints of your hip and shoulder and make a circle. 2. look for some online videos to follow. (I discovered these and more tips from gabs mover crusher website )

Hey I’ve had fibro since a child and dance is one of the few things that helps the pain and gives you a huge boost of feel good hormones.

Isolation, I found that doing just the up/down chest isolation enough to get used to even doing that movement was challenging, then the side to side made me ach and I only did this video, no chest circles at all, Im really respecting the control it takes to belly dance, Im doing this every morning, and going to work my way up!
