BELLY DANCE AND BEYOND!

WHY I DANCE

WELCOME!

RAQS SHARQI was the first dance genre I learned. When I hear Middle Eastern music, my heart swells with love and emotion. While my professional career in musical theatre & on camera acting gave me years of stage time, belly dancing is in fact very personal for me. I feel beautiful when I dance and proud of my culture!

MY PERSONAL DANCE STYLE DRAWS FROM A BLEND OF MY LIVELY LEBANESE ZEAL WITH THE SUBTLE ARTISTRY OF CLASSICAL EGYPTIAN.

The Beginner's GUIDE to BASIC Belly Dance

THE SEVEN FUNDAMENTALS

Dance styles will vary from one region to another, nonetheless, the fundamentals remain the same.  Learning to master the basics with hip and torso precision and proper dance posture will give you freedom to begin taking on our dance choreography with confidence! There are seven re-occurring movements (and their variations) you can begin to master:


  • Slides
  • Twists
  • Circles
  • Figure Eights
  • Lift / Drops
  • Undulations
  • Shimmies


Begin your RAQISA® dance journey by watching our introduction to the basic belly dance movements with our RAQISA® belly dance teaching mat as a visual aid.  Notice the isolated hip movements and the postural alignment.  These videos will demystify the basics with step by step instructions.  Next, try a sample of our one minute dancing drills! Your big picture goal is to run each drill with our posture plate on your head, nice alignment, with elegant (and relaxed) hands & posturing!
