The Love Potion Bellydance Workout combines dance fitness with dance instruction. The program consists of three sections:
The Love Potion Workout - 40 min.
Practice Flow for beginners - 50 min.
Tutorial section for beginners - 50 min.
Love Potion is a muscle-conditioning and sculpting workout made of 100%
bellydance steps and designed to give you a true dance experience
through sequences of real dance combinations set to rich, evocative
music. It is a non-stop movement program: The step-by-step technique
instruction is offered in a separate 50-minute Tutorial section.
Exploring all major areas of the bellydance vocabulary, the Love Potion
dance movement combinations are introduced gradually; each section of
the workout adds new material and builds on the steps and combinations
featured in previous sections.
Love Potion is choreographed to express the music as
real dance. It teaches real dance skills, never sacrificing the
artistic and expressive nature of bellydance movement. The technique
instruction and practice woven into the workout will benefit dancers of
all levels. You will work through all types of coordination and muscle
control used in bellydance and practice the techniques that create the
look of depth and connectedness in dance movement.
A Tutorial section explains the mechanics of every move:
You will learn the core bellydance vocabulary, and develop beautiful
form, muscle control and precise technique. Each step is explained in
detail, and followed by an option to practice it with music in the
corresponding section from the Practice Flow at first a slow and then a
faster tempo.
The Practice Flow is a separate beginner-level program
that introduces and drills each bellydance step and all the major Love
Potion combinations. This section features 50-minutes of non-stop dance
practice. It moves at a slower pace than the Love Potion workout and
offers more repetitions of individual moves before developing them into
combinations.
As a fitness program Love Potion will help define and
elongate the muscles of your abs, thighs, and hips, strengthen the
muscles of your upper and lower back, increase your flexibility and the
fluidity of your dance and regular daily movement. This program pays
special attention to the muscle groups responsible for giving you a
confident, graceful carriage. It will stretch, release and strengthen
your muscles providing a good base for healthy and graceful posture -
both in dance and in your everyday life.
The Love Potion workout and the Practice Flow have 2 soundtrack options:
with voice cues
and with music only.
The last section of the workout extends the Love Potion combinations into a choreographed dance. Enjoy the Love Potion!
