Beautiful oriental dances (video)
Belly dance is also called bellydance and it has its own subspecies. Today, there are three forms: classic bellydance, folk (folklore) and modern. Let's take a closer look at each of them to understand the differences.
Classical belly dancing is considered standard, many choreographic schools teach it. In the performance separate the movement of the legs and hands, which can be combined with each other. Basic lessons in classical oriental dance are the mastering of five basic leg movements. The main movement is a stable standing in place without a strong emphasis on the thumbs. In addition, there are three main types of hand movement, the basic one is called a semicircle (sometimes a "glazik"), when the dancers create a semicircle with the help of hands.
If we consider folk oriental dances, they also have their own distinct classification of subspecies. We will focus only on the most common of them.
The first is a dance with a sword. He shows both femininity and courage in himself.
Another popular and very beautiful oriental show is Khalji. It is especially appreciated by oriental men, since during the performance of this dance an important role is played by the appearance of the girl, namely - a beautiful suit made of translucent fabric and loose long hair. Saidi dance differs from the previous ones in that it is not allowed to display bare parts of a female body. The girl should be dressed in a long tight-fitting dress, and her head must cover the handkerchief.
Another incredible sight is the Nubian dance, performed by a group of dancers with tambourines in their hands. Along with others, popular oriental dances with a snake or a handkerchief are also popular. This is the most sexual performance among folklore groups, requiring great skill. Today it is most often a solo performance at some solemn event.
Modern oriental dances differ from classical and folk dances that do not have any secret meaning. Their goal is to show the beauty of the movements of the female body. You can divide such performances into two subspecies: the tribal is performed by a group of girls and combines elements of the African and Asian action, and the tribal fusion is based on European dance traditions and is performed both solo and in a group.
The costume used for the eastern act is called poor. It consists of a bodice embroidered with multicolored stones or rhinestones, and a long skirt with a slit and a wide belt. Sometimes more modest girls use a translucent handkerchief, which is covered with naked shoulders and hands, as well as hair.
Lessons of Oriental dances for children
Oriental dances for girls can begin to learn from an early age. They favorably affect the health and physical shape of the child. First, the basic movements of the belly dance keep the muscles of the press and back in tonus. Secondly, during exercises the correct and beautiful posture is developed. Third, repeating the movements of bellydance, the child trains his respiratory system, saturating the body with oxygen.
Eastern art will be an excellent solution for children who are contraindicated in health for active sports. Smooth and flexible movements of this kind of dance do not give an impact on the body, and at the same time contribute to the formation of a thin waist, plastic and strong hands due to specific movements of the hips, abdomen, arms and shoulders. Moreover, each girl after learning the basic movements will learn to feel her body, which, of course, will manifest in her natural self-confidence. Oriental dances for children are also good because the physical load is distributed evenly to all muscle groups.
Psychotherapists recommend closed and unsociable children to choose oriental dances as therapy, as they turn a shy quiet into an open and cheerful child. But the hyperactive children will learn to control their energy on the contrary - fascinating music and slow movements make the child more calm and balanced, accustom to discipline and direct all energy to the channel of art.
Watching how children perform oriental dances is a pleasure. The combination of childish spontaneity and cheerfulness with bright costumes and skillful techniques can not but please parents.

These are the three main movements, without which a beautiful oriental action is impossible.
