Professional Belly Dancer Movements In Dance

By Laura Gallagher


A professional belly dancer performs dance moves from numerous Middle Eastern styles. For instance, dances moves from Iran, India, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Armenia, North Africa and Greece are used. Movements found in flamenco, salsa, jazz and ballet are often performed by belly dancers with their own ideas added.

Movements found in the American Restaurant style consist of figure eights (rib cage circles) and stomach rolls the dancer isolates during floor work or standing still. Moreover, a stomach flutter or complete rib cage undulation with camel walks is especially entertaining. Rib cage circling with hips in opposition besides snake arms create an attractive result.

Ethnic dances contain a down-to-earth, traditional outward show. The ethnic dance has a sequence of traditional moves from a lot of cultures. Various times ethnic dancers are fond of dancing on a flat foot as distinguished from on the balls of their foot to carry out an ethnic look. The ethnic approach involves hip actions and stomach undulations being huge and flamboyant.

The ethnic style requires that the moves are done by the leader who is visible to the others so they can follow. Moves use body parts from the hips up because it is hard for followers to see the feet. For instance, a dancer will move their hips in a circle and keep the arms still or may undulate the arms and keep their hips still.

Dance actions from Egypt are completed with torso muscles. Hips are given the prominence while performing lifts, circles, drops, half circles and infinity loops. Layering is accomplished by inserting a shaking along with a hip circle and is a necessary style. Styles from Egypt and the orient make use of the torso along with rolling abdominal actions as a layer joined by a variety of hip movements.

Egyptian oriental moves (performed by a Professional belly dancer) use large hip circles while bending over fully at the waist and making a large, sweeping arm movement. Also, this style uses a side-to-side crescent with a hip twist on each side as well as the straight-legged vertical hip move and the pelvic forward and then back again shaking.
