I have been taking one class a week for quite a while and supplement my in-class learning with your videos. They are so helpful and move at the perfect pace for a beginner. Most videos that say "beginner" move way too fast for us newbies. You've supplemented my classes so well. I look forward to being able to move as fluidly as you do.

[@fefeb2156]

Just found your channel. Thanks for the lesson. Best instructions I have seen for hip lifts. At 71 years old, I am trying new things, although I have practiced Yoga for half my life. Belly Dancing is a new adventure for me. May you have good health, happiness and your heart be filled with love 💕

[@cocoberlin]

Nice to meet you FeFe, that‘s so inspiring to hear ❤️

[@hbvamp]

This is exactly what I needed to learn. You start off with the knees.

[@cocoberlin]

+hb vamp welcome ❤️

[@madelinesalazar8145]

Right and like I have messed up knees so doing a basic back and forth for my pidgin feet is kinda hard

[@cocoberlin]

This will be great to even things out in your body. Just slow down in case you experience pain and don’t skip our joint warm up ❤️ it’s great for knees!

[@SB7698]

She makes it look easy but done correctly it is actually quite challenging. She's so beautiful and fluid in her movements.

[@billywilliams8753]

You have to admit it's nice to watch

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you 🙏

[@franciscaperezs]

💃🇨🇷 I came to do this again, one week later. 🌻Wish a beautiful day to you and everyone.

[@cocoberlin]

Nice to see you back Francis! Have a great day too ☀️

[@kirstyswift6436]

I have been wanting to learn belly dancing for awhile but haven't had the guts to go to any classes as I am like a plank! No rhythm or fluid movement at all so get very conscious, when my partner found some videos on here of belly dancing and I thought ooh I shall have a look but all the "beginner vids" we still so advanced and they did not explain the steps etc...I was about to give up when I came across you and wow!! Loved the lesson and was very easy to follow even if I was terrible at, I will carry on, so thank you X

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you Kristy! That's a beautiful story! I'm happy you are dancing now

[@buihanhatchieu8473]

Every morning i turn your video on and pratice along, you've explained and demonstrated those movements so well, love u so much Coco

[@cocoberlin]

That's beautiful Chieu! Thank you for letting me know!

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you very much for the great feedback!!

[@EDMSubliminals]

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you

[@luzleeds5447]

Very good instructor , thank you.

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you, nice to have you here!

[@nikkimikky99]

You make it much easier to understand! You're also very pretty!

[@cocoberlin]

I'm happy to hear that Nichole

[@hbvamp]

Nichole W I agree with you. Helps to see the knees.

[@nikcollettekristin]

thank you so much for posting these videos! I like that you take it slow and show us everything and talk about all the little things like breathing because the little things count. =)

[@1MolokoPlus]

Being a male may disqualify me from bellydancing. But I must say that your technique and execution of the movements is mesmerizing, and something that I can appreciate. Of course it doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous! Thanks for the videos. I will be sure to pass them along to my female acquaintances.

[@MzFoRi3]

1MolokoPlus there's plenty of male bellydancing videos around

[@melediv]

these videos are very well done. I am a guy that wants to learn belly dance. Before these videos I was shy to dance in front of other people. Now I'm taking classes and I not afraid anymore to lift my shirt and dance with my belly, with other people watching me. I owe that to you, Coco

[@VenustasSomnium]

You make this look so easy!!

[@cocoberlin]

+VenustasSomnium Thanks!

[@evangelineguerra5912]

Thank you so much!! I loved it, you helped me so much! And I'm glad I got it down because I'm in Pom and I want us to be able to belly dance! And your video works!:)

[@veronicawilliams8056]

If you want to learn how to belly dance like a pro then go here: hootdancing.blogspot.com

[@cocoberlin]

Haha, nice to meet you Adriana! Depending on how much you have moved your hips before that's not unusual. But the good thing is: if you try it tomorrow you will see that it will be much easier. It's scientifically proven that your nervous system works on incorporating new movement patterns over night! Just keep the spirit up!

[@rest339]

I like your ways teaching.

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you!

[@kidkuala24]

I came here because I was practicing belly dancing but the Maya is the hardest for me. I like how you are wearing those pants because it makes it easy for me to see how the knees bend. Thank you.

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you ❤️

[@cocoberlin]

Schön, dass du dich so gut beobachten kannst! Es ist gut den Weg zu nehmen, der am effektivsten ist. Aber das ist nicht immer der, der einem am Anfang am einfachsten vorkommt weil man an ihn gewöhnt ist ;) Sondern der, der sich einfach toll anfühlt und mühelos/elegant aussieht. Ich freue mich, dass du dabei bist!

[@hotternfyr]

Great!!! Feet and ankles tend to get tense after a couple minutes, but I can definitely get the hips isolated. Thanks!!!

[@cocoberlin]

+hotternfyr nice to meet you, please do my warm up before you start this & shake out your feet to stay in a relaxed flow 💕

[@mezzofeldenkrais1647]

[@cocoberlin]

That's perfect!

[@virajzala2022]

wow. this is so amazing! thank you for such wonderful tutorial 😍❤🎈

[@cocoberlin]

+viraj zala you're welcome!

[@Mary-zl1kj]

The tutorials do not flow long or smooth enough to tell if I would like to continue with the classes. I have always enjoyed the belly dance. I think it is the 1 of the most beautiful form of dance. Anyone can learn to teach but there are few that can truly teach.

[@CapucineAbadie]

Not only are you great at explaining things and demonstrate really well, but your accent is beautiful :) and so are you! I actually appreciated that you don't have music in this video, some videos have it really loud and it's hard to understand what we're being taught. Definitely subscribed to your channel and I would probably dive straight into a full class if it were not 1am here in the Netherlands... :)

[@cocoberlin]

[@megarajane3568]

thx very much Coco :D :D :D

[@sharifkhan2085]

you are beautiful and good teacher

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you!

[@quirkyweirdooo593]

Also I've taken notice that I'm doing this quite well,it's just that I'm not moving my hips to the front and it doesn't look good.

[@cocoberlin]

Your hips should only move up & down here.

[@quirkyweirdooo593]

I meant that I'm moving them up and down, but you can't really see it from the front

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you for clarifying. I’d love to help you, but without seeing how you move, unfortunately I can’t...

[@RainbowRumpusCast]

Was ich gerne anmerken würde... also das ist zumindest bei absolut jedem Sport MEIN Problem: Ich suche immer automatisch den einfachsten Weg! Bis ich verstanden habe, dass ich mich anstrengen muss und meine Muskeln in den Beinen richtig (und vor allem auf welche Weise) benutzen muss und das sehr, habe ich eine ganze Weile gebraucht :) Aber ich glaube ich hab's halbwegs verstanden. Deine Videos werden jetzt regelmäßig von mir angeschaut! Danke!!

[@xMissGigglex]

Hello coco ^__^ I appreciate your videos

[@shyamgirigoswami1744]

[@fady14us]

ya coco ya gamed :D:D you rock

[@megarajane3568]

is it normal for my thighs to feel tired Coco, and the legs are always a little bent right, for example, right knee is not completely straight when u lift right hip ?

[@NehaSharma-sr3qx]

It'awesome mam

[@cocoberlin]

Thank you ❤️

[@adrianavargova]

Coco, you are right. Next day I tried it, it was much easier. In my case, it is not that I cannot move the hips, I can. But I move ALL the body, not just the lower part from the waist down, that is the problem. But I start to get into it. Best greetings from Slovakia, you are very sweet. Adriana

[@cocoberlin]

That's great!!

[@namratasain3788]

[@carlaabreu2257]

Hello Coco! I wanna start off by saying you are absolutely stunning and I am really enjoying your videos! I just have a question: when it comes to doing these hip movements and moving side to side at the same time, I have a hard time doing it because suddenly my hip movements become really choppy. Is there any advice you can give me on how to fix this? Thanks a bunch! xoxo

[@cocoberlin]

Carlinha A. Thank you!! Nice to have you here! I think this "choppiness" comes from blocks in your hip & spine. Don't worry, most of us have blocks in our body if we don't actively work on resolving them ;) Have a look on my SDW, it's fantastic to release blocks and strengthen your pelvic area at the same time: sensuousworkout.com

[@carlaabreu2257]

Ahh thank you so much! You're the best :)

[@melanielang7730]

Coco you are great

[@cocoberlin]
