Hi Charlotte so great to see another wonderful belly dance tutorial from you. I actually recently found this move in another TH-cam video from Remedy from Delilah search 3D figure 8s. I searched you tube for other examples and couldn’t find any other instructions on it so I was happily surprised when I saw your video with many more variations and arm movements. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. As usual you cover the movement in wonderful detail.
Thank you so much Sandie! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and I'm going off now to check out Delilah's tutorial! I always love seeing how other people teach things - it's so helpful xxx
I believe I actually saw a variation of this in a book on bellydance for fitness- I’m in America. I remember drawing with my toes and rubbing off polish, but I don’t remember a name
Oooooh you’re the first person in the US who’s said they know this one - now I’m excited! I love that you remember the drawing on the ground and the toenail polish too!
Hi, I'm form Denmark and I'v used the Kenya for years and I teach it to my studens. But I knows it as a Raqia 8 - after Raqia Hassan. But it was Fatima Serin (DE) who taught it to me in 2001 or so. I enjoy your videos very much. It inspireres me in my ovn dance and my teaching. I have a request: could you make at video about the Egyptian turn? I can make it work for me. Perhaps I'm to heavy to turn all the way round on one foot. So please!
Hi Fahrida! That's so interesting! I learned a lot from Raqia ages ago, so I wonder whether I learned it from Raqia originally and then heard someone in the UK call it a Kenya, so I now call it that. But oh gosh I don't know which move you mean when you ask about the Egyptian turn - it's that old problem of us all calling things by different names! Can you maybe explain a bit more and I'll see if I can understand which turn you mean? Oh and thank you so much for the lovely words about my teaching - you're really kind x
In German speaking countries it's called 'Muschelsucherschritt', meaning 'looking for sea shells'. However, I know it as being more isolated, being performed on one spot. The basic move is the backward figure 8 but one foot is released each time. Just the way you do it but without turning it into a step to the side.
Thanks great as usual ❤️

My respect and love to you ❤️
That’s really kind. Thank you x
It's really popular in Serbia, a lot of dancers do it. I'm not sure we have a name for it though, useful to know 😄
That’s really interesting! It’s such a great move I was sure it couldn’t only be us that did it!
I'm in the US and I've done that move but I don't recall being taught a specific name for it.

Fahrida, I've just thought - this video I made a while back might help... th-cam.com/video/4DirEg32wd0/w-d-xo.html
