Belly Dancing Lower Body Warm Up

Video Transcript

"Next thing we're going to do is we're going to warm up the lower body' it's an extension of the upper body so we can continue right into the lower body. What you do is step your feet slightly apart and we're just going to rock our hip from side to side; rock rock rock rock rock rock. Again you should be doing a warm up for about 5 to 10 minutes, to include the upper and the lower body. So we're going to hold it to one side; pushing the hip out, really push it out; you should feel the stretch in your hip here and over to the other side. Really again, push it out to really feel that stretch. Next thing we're going to do is stretch out to the side; bending making sure your knee does not go over your toes, you should be able to look straight down and see your toes. Just giving that, your legs an extra stretch. Then what we're going to do is we're going to walk over to the other side and bring it down. Again you want to make sure that you knee does not go over your toes; you will hurt yourself otherwise, so just be very conscience that knee does not ride over; hold it there. You want to bring it forward; walk your feet together and come back up."
