Belly Dance Floor Work

Recommended for intermediate to advanced belly dance students, this booklet starts with an overview of floor work from past to present, moves on to a wide variety of warm-up and cool-down exercises to help you gain dexterity, flexibility, and endurance, then sets out a basic starter choreography to which you can add more complicated, skillful, or dramatic gestures as you learn them.

Explanations on how to artistically lower yourself to the floor, how to perform fluid belly dance undulations and movements while sitting, kneeling, rolling, or reclining on stage, and how to rise from the floor without skipping a beat.
