I watched this video 2 months ago. And when I first started I COULD NOT do it. Magically, just from TRYING I started getting it. Now I can do it perfectly and I can do the reverse as well. Crazy how your mind makes the connection even when it doesn’t seem like it. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@toniaevi5952]

You give me hope, because i still can't do it.

[@yasmenebadereldin]

The best tip I've seen for belly roll, but it's not very easy move, so it takes practice. Thank you Samantha, you're a cool and good teacher☺🌼

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

Thank you so much!

[@rileynowe8671]

I am a drummer but I love belly dancers

[@yvonnesaidi1313]

Best video to date. I have been teaching my students the "jeans off, jeans on" technique for sometime now but had totally missed the top and bottom belly exercises. Thanks so much ❤️

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

haha yes the jeans on and off is a great example. :) Thank you so much! I appreciate that! If you’re interested I have a free class for my followers. Please send me your email address and I’ll get that to you. Details in the description.

[@hotdog381963]

Thank you for this excellent video! I love the two fingers up and down. When I introduce this move to new students I have them pair up and "play ping pong." They face each other and when one person's tummy is out the other is in and they have to synchronise their ins and outs 😄 This really helps gain strength and control (also a great icebreaker 😉), but explaining the up/down roll was difficult. I hope you don't mind, I am going to use the two fingers next time, thank you 💜

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

Absolutely!! Glad it was helpful!!

[@Keezyii]

Such a lovely intro ! You’re so strong I understand what I have to do but I need more practice hahah hope to get to your level very soon

[@omayma4453]

Woww I realized I can´t do it if I talk! Does that mean I won´t achieve it?

[@marinabenzaquen9805]

why everytime I try to push in the upper abs I do the vacuum? I guess it's wrong because you can speak while contracting it, so it cannot be a vacuum.. omg so hard

[@bondingwithunclebenny]

I could do it when I was a kid for no reason and I can still do it today I dunno why it happens

[@ariadnekalakou8302]

So i achieved to identify the muscles and to push them out but i can't see a big difference from the neutral position. I mean i can't push my belly out (the movement isn't showing on the mirror.) Do you get what i am saying? If you get it, is there any advice you could give me?

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

keep working at it. it takes time to build up that range of motion. you can also a bigger difference by going in first then going out. Hope that helps!

[@ariadnekalakou8302]

@@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer thank you. I've already started to see a difference but only in the upper abs. So i guess i just need practice❤

[@angelaj-son6424]

I know this is a daft question, but I'm a big lady. Can bodies like mine do this because I've tried and to no avail

[@niskamelchionne1942]

I don't have much of a belly to do this. I'm small bone girl. My belly don't want to be push out

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

You don't need any type of belly to do it, you work with your body how it is today.

[@jessicarichards8447]

I have scoliosis and my alignment is off I can still learn to belly dance

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

As long as you are medically cleared to do so then yes! Many people have scoliosis and belly dance. They just work with their body while they learn and dance.

[@itsjustbsi]

I either do the body roll or i only push the lower belly. And if i control my movement and try to do it i look like I'm twitching 😭😭😭✌️

[@Ceylinn122]

I can't move my belly. How exactly do you do this? I'm a little overweight. Is it because my belly is big that it doesn't move?

[@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer]

Hey there! Nope, has nothing to do with your belly size. :). Keep going and keep trying to push against the two fingers. It might take a little time but the more you try the more body awareness you'll have.

[@Ceylinn122]

@@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer So how do I move my belly? When I breathe, it moves a little but it moves little.
