Basic Belly Dance Mayte

[@quintana2639]

I'm loving the confidence. great teacher.

[@rosepena712]

Mayte has the perfect body in my opinion, I wish I looked like that! She's muscular and not too thin or thick

[@yashereen]

This is easily the best bellydance tutorial I have seen online. Mooorrrreeee please!!!

[@sinceritybaldwin4147]

I agree. NOW I get it. I need it shown to me in the tiniest of steps, just like in her video. That's what makes a good teacher in any area of expertise...she breaks it down perfectly in tiny steps. She also explains it metaphorically (" kicking a feather",...." as if a string is on your side being pulled up and let go"). These teaching methods keeps the moves locked in your head ---now if I can just make my body do what my head knows what to do :)

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

Aww I had no idea there was Mayte Garcia belly dancing videos on KZbin. I can't get to my belly dancing class here in NYC at the moment because of the lockdown so it's nice to still be able to do my dancing at home.Thank you so much for uploading this. Mayte's videos are amazing tutorials 💃💃💃

[@OlSkoolMusiQueen]

Thank you SO much for posting this! I had these videos and don't know what happened to them. I hope someone posts the rest. Cannot find them ANYWHERE since ExerciseTV shut down...

Mayte! You make this look so easy lol love this video I hope you make more of these beautiful ❤️

Ditto!

[@virginiakoury2779]

We all are...lol

[@Phangmaster]

I had a massive crush on her when I was 18. I think I still do haha

[@fireseedmusic]

Great tutorial for beginners! There are a couple of issues on the routines at the end tho', so watch out. On the first time thru the whole routine, she does the first hip movement 10 times instead of 8 & so has to compensate with only 7 hip thrusts (the second movement). And on the second time thru the routine, she gets off the beat at the end, so it's a bit confusing. But if you realize these things, you can compensate without too much trouble & enjoy a sweet exercise & dance routine!

[@mimi45961]

The issues that you've listed was correct. Also, there's more wrong with it but I'll leave it at that.

[@te4888]

No matter what anybody says about Mayte, including myself, the woman could and still can dance. Nobody can take that away from her. And I was and still am jealous that Prince married her lol. But no matter what, nobody can take away the fact that he chose her to be his wife and the mother of his children, out of all the women he was with. Nothing against, Manuela, but Mayte is my favorite Prince ex-wife lol. I truly believe he loved her so.

[@janeval5980]

She was NOT pregnant when Prince asked her to marry him. He only wanted Mayte to have his children. She is and never was a goldigger, but, the 2nd wife was and still is.

[@sherrijones1598]

@@janeval5980 yes she was pregnant

[@kermitnigga1263]

[@denisehilton3592]

Mayte Garcia is on Excercise TV. this is Amazeing. now i can practice her steps to belly dance. xoxox love her so much!!! 💜

[@Taiyou536]

She taught even Britney Spears for I am a slave 4 U !

[@ArmyScoutMom]

Nice voice, excellent brake down of movements... unfortunately not at all authentic. Looked like what it was, an excellent modern / jazz instructor teaching belly dance. Different genre.

[@keithharris1672]

Dammnn, this is what he needed Prince you shoulda never let her go. When a woman like this loves you are LOVED, you could've had more children some couples try for years. If he'd kept Mayte he'd still be alive. I believe this.

[@iamcasihart]

I feel that he should've given their relationship the time, love, tenderness needed to heal. Maybe even couples therapy...it certainly wouldn't have hurt. If he had allowed it & remained invested in spite of the real shit that happened, he would likely have found that they could've been closer & with a stronger foundation than ever. I know that they both are people of faith & as such, while there is no rhyme or reason for their devastating loss, it was a test. And while I don't/did not know either of them, my gut tells me that Prince had no "real life" coping skills. It's as though he romanticized things, with earnest intentions, but once the "novelty" wore off & he needed to be just a husband/best friend/strength/support/comfort, he was either incapable or unwilling. He found this beautiful young lady, & over the years, she was a breath of fresh air, his muse, his protégé, his love & finally, his wife...He said vows to her before God & he created some of his most passionate, sensual, romantic music during his time with her. He chose to "groom" & court a girl...not yet a woman. He was her first everything. He was a man in his late 30s & she was a teenage girl when he invited her to join his world & tour with him. That's why I say that, had he given it some time, love & faith...yes, even if it took years...she would've grown a bit more into a fully realized woman & he might have grown into a better, stronger man & together they could've been forever, until death. I felt the love & passion between them, & I was only viewing from the outside. A love like that should not be thrown away. I've never even been married, but I know that a marriage requires more than love...it takes work, devotion, self-awareness, getting real & placing no one & nothing above your spouse. I take the vows very seriously & though I am a bit of a romantic & a total dreamer, I'm also a realist. If ever God & the Universe brings to me a mate to whom I can see myself married & with whom I have that "soul mate" kind of connection, I would never give up on him/us...if I say vows, that's a wrap. That's why I've never even been engaged. I've not yet felt a love like that, nor have I found a man worthy of my hand in marriage. It seems to me that Prince didn't know how to deal with the real life sorrow & adversity. It seems to me that he buried himself in his art & compartmentalized Mayte. It seems that, rather than face everything WITH her, he abandoned her (whether physically or emotionally or both) to endure & live in the pain alone. As a woman, she carried their son & the second child. Her body was growing life. Hormones & other factors likely made it impossible for her to do anything BUT live IN the loss, suffering, grief & pain. Much of this is just my gut instincts & understanding of human nature & psychology...so, of course, I'm expressing genuine, brutally honest, heartfelt opinions & sentiments. What I do know for a fact is that he had their marriage annulled, just a few years after it began. And unless it was Mayte's wish for some personal reason (which I doubt) to choose to have their marriage declared null & void, as though it never even happened...that is incredibly sad & I cannot imagine the kind of pain & feelings of abandonment & resentment & inadequacy that it created for Mayte. I'm not AT ALL painting Prince as "the bad guy" or as some heartless asshole. Not at all. In fact, my instinct also tells me that he was an incredibly sensitive soul & he had to be lost to not only give up, but to end their beautiful union in a way that the law recognizes as not ever existing. I just wish he'd given the same devotion & dedication & time to that marriage that he gave to his art, his convictions & in the last 16-17 years of his life, his religion. His marriage & their love deserved no less. I don't know whether or not he'd still be alive, for we still do not know how he died. But I do believe that, had he stayed with Mayte, they could've had the family they both desired (either the "traditional way" or via surrogate or adoption). I imagine Mayte would've loved him with an unending loyalty & fervor. If he'd still been with her & they had a family, at the very least, I doubt he would've died alone in an elevator. That breaks my heart. ♡

[@iamcasihart]

+Hope Andro Thank you. Today is his birthday. He would've been 58. I'm still hurting over this. I think his death is touching so many of us in a particularly profound way, for he gave us & the world so much beauty, knowledge, freedom, funk, fun, love, humor & in his career, he was fearless. There has never been an artist like him, nor will there ever be another. 💜

[@imabonjovigirl]

I follow her on twitter and instagram...when she speaks of him, you can see it in her eyes, she has never stopped loving him. She is a very sweet and beautiful person.

[@TheNadakan]

I agree. I think if he had had children with her, he would have been alive. Both his marriage and especially his kids would have kept him happy. I read a biography written by someone who knew him and who conversed with other people who knew him closely, and from what I read it seemed that he turned very lonely in his older years. His kids would have kept him grounded and happier.

[@imabonjovigirl]

I totally agree.

[@rayva1]

This is actually easier than what my bellydance instructor taught in class!

hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to belly dance at home try Tarbetti Instant Dancing Tutor( search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got great success with it.

[@pammy35]

Her arms though!!! yessssss

[@floatinglotuswomenswellness]

As one who performed, taught and studied Middle Eastern dance for 30 years (winning a number of awards and teaching all over the country) this isn't actually all that great. The wide stance isn't grounded enough to ensure a healthy back, the movements aren't over the body's centerline, and it's much more like a modern dancer's take rather than the real thing. Probably fun for someone who just wants a few moves to do at a dance club, but not at all in line with the traditional form.

[@lynnerussell4263]

She is definitely not a good dancer, I guess she Good at what she does but definitely not great, she's very mediocre and gets off beat if she gets to excited

Wow is this good for slimming the belly. I do lots of exercise but still belly not toned yet

[@flufferstuff]

+Xi Zui a lot of women have belly fat that is NOT unattractive. I'm not one of those, I've had flat abs my whole life because I just have naturally flat abs, plus I've always been fit. However, that doesn't make my body better than a woman's that has a belly. In fact, it's considered beautiful as long as the rest of the body isn't fat. If you're truly fit all over, your belly should look just fine. Otherwise, maybe you're not being completely honest with yourself .... ? I've been a personal trainer and I know how people self-talk themselves. Make sure that you're not trying to look like a woman that is not actually a woman. Many Hollywood industry women are not really females, like Madonna, Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Taylor Swift, et al. Watch that you don't covet their body traits because they're not real women.

I know this was an old comment but I just wanted to speak up: I think people are so hateful towards her out of nothing but JEALOUSY. Seriously. Do you know there is actually a KZbin CHANNEL - DEVOTED TO NOTHING BUT ...hating on this woman? I am not shitting you. Look up "The Real Mayte Garcia". People are crazy. There is also a channel of someone on YT that insists she was Prince's first wife and they have a son and daughter together and that the world is made of robots and all of the pictures of Prince and other women - the women were actually HER BUT PHOTOSHOPPED. I swear to you...you can't make this shit up now-a-days. Very sad that we live in a world that people hate on others to the extent they do. And even sadder that there are people who have such severe mental illness that it truly clouds their perception of reality and way of life.
