Lavish and overflowing with deep, rich,
feminine movement, “Luscious: The Bellydance Workout” is made of 100%
of bellydance moves and steps It is gentle, but it will work your body
to enhance your muscle tone, flexibility, and fluidity, and promote
weight loss. With a special focus on muscle conditioning and
elongation, the program works each group of muscles deeply - using
carefully built combinations to switch between muscle groups and add
intensity to the workout.
“Luscious: The Bellydance Workout” features gorgeous
music and a beautiful flow undiluted by conventional exercises.
Systematically addressing each group of muscles to deliver a total body
workout, it creates an entertaining and aesthetically fulfilling dance
experience inspiring you to do your best in executing each move with
the proper depth, range of motion, and articulation.
A true dance experience as much as a fitness experience,
“Luscious” is beginner level, but it offers you a perspective of
challenge and growth. The workout consists of 7 sections, each building
consistently upon the dance vocabulary covered in the previous sections
through its own series of combinations. The combinations include
classic bellydance transitions between steps to help you create the
muscle memory to ingrain dance in your body.
“Luscious” is an "instructional workout." It introduces
the dance vocabulary in a careful, systematic way and contains an
extensive tutorial section breaking down each move used in the workout.
If this is one of your first steps in bellydance, this
program will be a fun introduction to all the basic groups of
bellydance moves and transitions. If you are a dancer, it’s a great way
to practice the core of the bellydance technique and vocabulary through
functional drills performed in the context of dance combinations and
transitions creating an extra layer of muscle memory that isolated
drills do not provide.
Workout duration - 45 min.
Tutorial section - 50 min.
The
Circles section explores circular bellydance moves. It follows a
slow-to-moderate tempo, working both the lower and upper body through
isolations.
Next is the Infinity Loops section. Together with the stretching and
toning impact of every move in this section, infinity loops are the
ultimate exercise in fluidity.
Undulations maintain flexibiilty of your spine and help develop deep
awareness of your core. They are also a challenging full-body
muscle-conditioning exercise.
The bellydance hipwork section exercises your thighs,
glutes, and abdominal muscles. In the Hip Accents section we’ll perform
traditional bellydance hip moves and then weave them together with the
fluid movements: circles, infinity loops and undulations. Hipwork is
what gives bellydance such vibrancy and party appeal - these steps look
great on any dance floor.
The Shimmy - that effortless shaking of the hips - is
actually hard work! Join us to shake your way through a few styles of
shimmy, and enjoy the wide range of shimmy flavors.
The Body Line section is built of moves involving your
total body. It shifts focus from working individual body parts to dance
steps that offer the most stretching and give you a dancerly posture
and carriage.
The last section is a short dance routine choreographed entirely of the bellydance moves featured in the workout.
Great for beginners
