Asking for several hand gestures in belly dance style

I once heard someone say: to see if a person can dance, we have to look at his (her) hands when dancing. This sentence is not unreasonable13, the dancer's control of the body focuses on the control of the fingertips, and, different dance styles in the hand gestures will have different requirements, the shape of the hand, the hand momentum, embodied in a style. Since the hand is so important in the dance, then, let's take a look at the traditional Middle Eastern style belly dance in which belly dance gestures it! Middle Eastern belly dance gestures 1 - triangle

Practice: index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger naturally together, relaxed and flat, the thumb tip on the second joint of the middle finger, the root joints arch, from the side, the hand shape if the triangle.

Tips: the most simple and unadorned of a belly dance gestures, the original Egyptian paradigm, fingers gently pinched, revealing an inner strength and flavor. Middle East belly dance gestures 2 - and finger style

Practice: five fingers together, the entire palm of the hand from the side is a plane.

Tips: commonly used in the elbow pressure wrist folded arm, that is, in the ancient Egyptian pyramid murals in the common hand shape. Middle Eastern belly dance hand gestures 3 - natural style

Practice: wrist slightly downward pressure, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky naturally flat, fingertips slightly upward, the thumb is underneath, the middle finger is slightly downward pressure, to the thumb.

Tip: Many people tend to confuse this gesture with the Orchid Finger. Orchid finger is the Chinese dance hand shape, pay attention to support the wrist to pick finger, finger root to force downward pressure, while this belly dance this gesture is relatively natural much more, need to relax the fingers, naturally present a sense of hierarchy. Middle East belly dance gesture 4 - wave

Practice: the wrist as an axis, the hand to do inward rotation, the right hand for the clockwise rotation, the left hand for the counterclockwise rotation. Relax your fingers as you rotate.

Tip: This gesture is actually derived from the movements of primitive tribal women picking fruit during labor. Belly dance in the rotary mostly inward rotation, which is different from the Xinjiang Dance, Chinese folk dance in some of the external rotation gestures Oh, so if you put too much fancy external rotation gestures into the belly dance, it will make people feel very tasteless. Middle East belly dance gestures 6 - wrist pressure wrist style

Practice: in the parallel finger style or flower style on the basis of wrist pressure.

Tips: Although the wrist lifting and pressing the wrist type is simple, but with the hands or the same direction or reverse, or at the same time or alternately, or high or low change, you can derive a lot of beautiful arm movements. Egyptian Oriental Dance arm finger characteristics are very obvious, look at a person's arm can be judged whether the person is Egyptian or foreigners in the Egyptian style - Egyptian Oriental Dance arm finger control is very high, they are very important to the arm, if your arm is very difficult to see, basically no Egyptian willing to look at you dance.

Some beginners a jump crotch action, constantly unconscious flipping wrist, arm irregular wave shaking, which is a big mistake in Egyptian belly dance. In addition they never twist the orchid finger. Egyptian belly dance master Suheir Zaki, her personal characteristic is more cool than other Egyptian masters flipping wrist, but also control powerful 02 legendary dancer naima akef, arm is very simple and powerful opposite example, also an Egyptian baladi, just look at the arm, floating powerless arm, the trajectory of the movement is very confusing, not a good posture.
