2001-01-01 · 47 min · Not rated
Sisters Veena and Neena Bidasha have been bellydancing since their childhood and have travelled around the world learning, refining, performing, and teaching this ancient and erotic dance. Now they have created a series of videos to instruct students in the arm movements, shimmies, and sultry looks of bellydancing. BASIC DANCE begins with a brisk warm-up routine and continues with a step-by-step tutorial isolating the upper and lower body while slowly demonstrating each hip drop, shimmy, and undulation in the full choreographed routine.
