The orchid finger is a Chinese dance hand shape that emphasizes wrist support and finger picking, and finger roots should be pressed down hard, while this belly dance gesture is much more natural, and requires the fingers to be relaxed and naturally present a sense of hierarchy.

Middle East belly dance gesture 4 - wave

Practice: wrist, finger roots, knuckles, fingertips in order to lift up, and then in order to press down, to complete a wave, do it again and again, to mimic the state of the waves rolling.

Tips: although the wrist pressure wrist lift is simple, but with the hands or the same direction or reverse, or at the same time or alternately, or high or low change, can be derived from many beautiful arm movements.
