routine. For lunch, I did the 30 minute workout from Bellydance Fitness for Beginners: Hip Hop Hip Drop
. It is mostly based on what I consider beginner level moves. Unweighted hip lifts, unweighted hip drops, horizontal hip circles, chest drops, hip bumps and basic Egyptian. Combinations four and five start getting into intermediate level territory, but they are easy enough I think beginners, especially if they have a session or two under their hip scarves, could figure them out. Combination four uses a move I hadn’t seen before, that I would describe as a reverse gush, it seemed a bit awkward. Combination five is drop-kicks. There is no mention of proper posture, so make sure you are checking your own. Some of the moves could hurt your back if your pelvis comes un-tucked. This DVD does not teach proper technique. In some instances it describes the easiest way to create the move, but not necessarily the one I think makes the most sense or would recommend using. All in all it was a descent workout, but not overly challenging. The DVD has two bonus features, two costumed performances and a 10 minute arms, chest and back workout.That was it for the day, didn't even work on bellydance related projects in the evening.
