Belly Dance Technique

There's more to belly dancing than moves. Knowing how to do a hip drop or belly roll doesn't mean you know how to belly dance. You also need to learn musical interpretation, emotional expression, Middle Eastern nuance, stage presentation, and more. But these instructions will guide you in one piece of it - technique for doing selected moves.
