    She literally made me feel like I'm a good belly dancer lol! I don't know how to explain it. I suck at dancing in general but I felt like I was doing everything okay and there were times when I felt like I was being stiff and I just worked my way through it. She's honestly such a good teacher. Like I felt a connection through the screen lol! I just felt really pretty doing this lol.... Okay I'm done being weird

    I am 65 years old. At 18 I took lessons from a woman who was the leading student of the top, and still most renown belly dancer in San Francisco. My teachers name was Rhea, and up until a few years ago was still Greece’s most renown dancer. So when I say I know my stuff, you know my credentials. Your video is the best beginner video I have ever seen. You point out and show the important nuances so important to dancing both properly and authentically. I also like the mirror, which gives the viewer a better angle of what your legs, knees, and hips are actually doing. The legs and knees are the key. This surprises so many people I have done demos for. I will be forwarding this to others who have expressed a desire to learn at home.

I've only had this for a couple weeks but I'm hooked and I know I will come back to it over and over again for its focus on the fundamentals, the advanced muscle control practice and instruction, and her graceful style. It's one of those courses that makes a difference fast and permanently. you can find out here t.co/4OA5AimJrl

Worried about gaining weight and remembered an OT friend learning to belly dance. Yeah, belly dancing with a boot on one's foot looks crazy but I don't care! Two thumbs up- Leilah- you are a terrific teacher!! I'm not at all coordinated (even without the boot) and I'm not frustrated and am enjoying this tremendously.

    One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can't do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn't teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn't go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!

But soon as we caught our breath we all got up again to continue.
    Finally found video for elderly to enjoy and have fun at the same time.

    I cannot begin to say how happy I am that I found your channel. I've always wanted to learn bellydancing but all the videos I found don't show you how to do moves. They just show you the dance and expect you to follow.
    You break it down and explain it flawlessly 🥰💕💃💕

  • @mandelharvey3429
    @mandelharvey3429 3 года назад

    You're good. My son's taekwondo class showed us the importance of hip movements and balance. Basically the body control you're demonstrating. He then wanted to be a football player. Every pro scout talks about the ability to flip the hips. You explain it so it's understandable. Most sports folks show violent movements more likely to injury. You do it stronger but I really appreciate that you're showing people how to move ourselves in space. Not about beating any other opponent. When my kid can do a hip circle without looking like he's breaking and do any kick without falling over, mission accomplished.

    Leilah, I recently discovered your channel and am loving your videos. I am currently recovering from foot surgery and am finding your videos helpful for working out other body parts that have gone south since being laid up in recovery. I can stand on both feet, but can't yet travel or put pressure on the injured foot, so I just modify when need be. Thank you for helping me in my recovery journey with these amazing lessons. We will have to grab a cuppa next time I head across the pond to London!
