I worked with the first flow from Bellydance Rhythms. It was quite fun!
The format really lets you do a lot with this. It’s definitely a workout because I had to turn the fan on (It’s officially winter here) and I didn’t do as much of the routine as I wanted to. Of course I had tired myself out with my usual round of Asharah exercises. And a shopping trip earlier. Shopping is so tiring!
I arrogantly dumped the tutorial section – only to get a bit stuck on three or four moves. Serves me right, huh? I found I will need to spend a bit of time on a move that involves a grapevine with chest lifts and a hip move. So I plan to tackle this flow tomorrow for several rounds. First, to learn the moves flawlessly. Second, to work on my horrible balance. Third to work on sharpness and definition. If I don’t get it with these moves, I’m hardly likely to ever tackle Sadie’s scary videos. I find that one needs to work on the stopping of each movement as much as its beginning. That’s when you get “clean” looking moves. Neon’s moves are not only very sharp but have a big range.
And then finally, I plan to use it as a workout. Flow 2, another day. And another intresting thing I’m going to try is zill with these combinations. They’re short and repeated for many rounds, plus there’s a music-only segment. So that makes it quite ideal for zilling to 5 different rhythms too.
