Holiday Break Blog Schedule and first combo

This is the first week of the holiday break, and to keep everyone thinking about belly dance while on break, I'll be doing daily blog posts. The planned schedule (though I reserve the right to make changes) is:


Monday workout – combo w/music suggestion
Tuesday – finger cymbal drill
Wednesday – yoga pose
Thursday – shimmy drill
Friday – Challenge
Saturday – product review
Sunday – belly dance/practice tip

Today’s combo combines traveling hip circles and Basic Egyptian to form a square. I’ve used this one in my workout class on Monday nights, and it seems to be one everyone enjoys. The whole combination is 16 counts.

1-4 circle and a half traveling right ending in an unweighted hip drop on the left
5-8 two basic Egyptians traveling forward, first on the left, second on the right
9-12 circle and a half traveling left ending in an unweighted hip drop on the right
13-16 two basic Egyptians traveling backward, first on the right, second on the left
