Shape Up with Belly Dance LESSON 1 - Beginner Class

[@dorcmoha1029]

My Rule #1: workouts have to be fun as well as a workout. My rule #2: live drumming is a MUST!! I absolutely loved this!! Thank you so much!!

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

Wonderful!! We have 7 more lessons in the series, coming out each Saturday-and you're going to love even more as we progress because we do some little "drum solo" exercises! 😉

First off, gotta give a shout out to Bob- what a trooper! I love that you have him there to drum. Second, I’m super-excited to have discovered your series. I was part of a great beledi community in Arizona for several years, but after moving to Washington 10 years ago, I had trouble finding a new community. I kept up practice at home for a while, but with 4 young children and a return to university to finish my degree left little time for it and I eventually stopped dancing alltogether😢 I’ve been wanting to start dancing again but I’m so out of shape and out of practice that it’s been a bit demoralizing each time I’ve attempted to get started again, recalling how good I used to be but now every move I make feels stiff and clunky. What I really appreciate about your videos is your lovely personality and approach to teaching, as well as the way in which you have formatted your lessons. Your pacing is perfect and I end each lesson feeling accomplished but not exhausted. Thank you so very much for making these videos available!💖

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

Afwan! You are very welcome, and I am so very happy that we can dance together virtually! 💕 I know how hard it can be to remember how good we used to be, and I encourage you to give yourself love and focus on what you can do right now. I used to practice hours every day, but now I have to respect when my body says, "enough for today!" Take epsom salt baths and stretch, and let's keep dancing together! Keep posting your experiences with the classes and tutorials and let me know when you need help. Aiwa Habibi! Welcome to Jensuya Belly Dance! ❤

I really liked the video! It was hard, but I smiled the whole lesson! So much fun! I really love your lessons! ❤ When I do it slowly, everything works out, but in the end - it didn’t work out at all

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

OK. Here's what I'm thinking...do less in one session. Here is a playlist of beginner workouts where we focus on just one move at a time; You'll see where I direct you to the technique lesson that you can do first. bit.ly/JBDBeginDrills Let me know how you do. 💕 And here is a lesson with just 4 easy moves. bit.ly/JBDLearn4EasyMoves 😊

[@mlk_4NG3L]

I've done this a couple of times as a beginner trying to relearn belly dance and improve my body mobility. My abs always give up at the end with shimmys. I do them successfully a couple of times, but I can't follow along with you at the end. I'm thinking of doing core strengthening exercises as a solution.

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

It takes a long time to learn to shimmy fast and a lot of practice to build up the stamina. Go easy on yourself as you learn. Have you done this shimmy class? bit.ly/JBDBestBeginnerShimmy Also, this our 5 minutes series of workouts are an excellent way to practice. Here's one: bit.ly/JBD5MinWktHipShimVert 💕 Welcome to Jensuya Belly Dance!

Does anyone want to video train me?❤💃

[@SamCoff-f9d]

Can overweight people do it?

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

Absolutely! Listen to your body, and be gentle on yourself as you learn. A warm bath with epsom salt and stretching are excellent for after dancing. Keep me posted on your progress. 💕 Welcome to Jensuya Belly Dance!

Can you please turn on the Turkish subtitles? There are many languages, but there is no Turkish, I'm very sorry. Belly dance is the most famous dance in Turkey. We always dance belly dance when women gather together.❤️❤️🥹

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

Merhaba! Yes, Oryantal! We love Turkiye! I think you have to turn on Turkish subtitles from your device. I see many videos on KZbin about how to add subtitles in your language of choice. Let me know how that goes for you. Also, for fun, here is our video on Turkish language for belly dancers: bit.ly/JBDTurkish And our performance at the Turkish Festival in Washington, D.C. bit.ly/JBDTurkishFest ❤
