In this week’s blog I’m giving you an express class to help you express yourself! Feeling stable and on balance is essential for us dancers. Why? Because if we want to commit fully to the moves with confidence, we need to feel grounded and 100% balanced.
Join me for this short class to help you find stability and confidence in your belly dancing.
Would you like more classes like this? I think you would really enjoy the full length, in-depth Belly-Lates, conditioning and drills classes at Santa Maria Bellydance Online.
It means you have your own bellydance studio available 24/7 so you can train whenever you like! SMBO student, Elinor, says “It’s been hard for me to attend a Bellydance class as I do a PGCE, and it often involves work in the evening. With SMBO I can be flexible whilst still gaining my dance experience!”

Come into my belly dance garden! It was a beautiful day when I came to film this workout, so I just had to take it outside 🌳
In today’s class I’m giving you a progressive belly dance workout focusing on the waist. It’s really important for us bellydancers to keep the sides of our body strong and supple.
I’ve packed a LOT into this session and you can expect to find:
Detail on technical elements of smooth and sharp moves
Drills on each of the movement components
Combinations and variations of the moves
I even include a warm up and brief coll down too!
The bonus “side effect” of repeating these kinds of moves is that we end up with a nice toned waist – woo hoo! (Although the main aim of this is to gain max enjoyment from your dancing ad feel good from the inside.)
I hope you enjoy it! Let’s get started …

Your belly dance assignment
I challenge you to take this class at least 4 times a week for a month! I promise you that you will feel stronger and more supple along the sides of your body (you may even notice a change in the contours of your torso). I’d love to know how you get on, be sure to leave a comment on the main YouTube page and let me know.

“I really hope more people take up the opportunity to try online classes with such a supportive teacher.” SMBO student, UK
“I have gained so much from joining SMBO at the beginning of the year. My dancing has progressed and I have had a breakthrough with writing choreography due to Helen’s help. The website is amazing with a huge amount of tutorials for all levels of dancers. Helen is very accessible and answers all questions really quickly and fully. It is great value for money. I love it and would recommend it to anyone.” Sue, UK
