Thank you so much for this free video! Financially I'm not doing so hot, so this has been a fun way for me to stay active and keeps me motivated. I honestly can not describe to you how appreciative I am for this.

1st song... arabic song for nancy ajram .. ya tab tab / يا طبطب ... 2nd also nancy 3d ehab tawfeeq / allah aleik ya seedy الله عليك ياسيدي 4 shik shak shok 5 saber/ allah aleik ya baba >> الله الله يابابا thump up for arabic songs and music

Haha, this is really awesome, it's just funny being an American learning about an Arabian dance by listening to British teachers

Hey:) Try doing 2-3 contractions in a row in one breath... Also try doing some holding your breath to break the habit of breathing in and out on every contraction. Also try saying "in out" with each contraction because you cant breath in while talking! It takes practice - but very do able! Eventually you'll be able to do it effortlessy! X

Its one the best belly dance workouts I have ever seen . Pls post more. Ur energy is infectious .

I waaaaant this teacheeeer! she is soooo cool! love it!

wow!!! I really loved this video, and was excited at how good everyone looked, and how fast they picked it up, so I know i can too, I love you explaining the muscles and how they work!! Ill be watching all your videos!!!

Girl I've LOVED this workout!!! Never EVER EVER have I EVER felt so good after a bellydance workout. I'm sore all over, and all sweaty! Yesterday I was only able to do 2o min of this, today I was able, with much effort and loads of mistakes (trying to keep up) but I didit! And I'm so happy!!! You should definetly do more videos like this!!! It made me feel like I was in the class with everyone!!! Loved it!!!

The song she stops at the beginning 0:01 is called "Shakhbat Shakbet" by Nancy Ajram. The song she plays at 1:41 is called "Ya Tabtab," also by Nancy Ajram.

I started doing belly dancing classes at the gym before they were discontinued. Since then I've been done everything I could find on you tube and about 8 videos that I've purchased. I have learned SO much from watching Melissa! Wow. Nobody else has explained so well how to really perfect the movements by explaining exactly what your muscles should be doing. I want to see everything she's done and do all of her classes! Thank you, Melissa!

This is no joke. I stopped many time to catch my breath but I finished it. This is exactly what I was looking for. I know I can not work out everyday but I can dance everyday. Thank you for posting

Adam's mom using his computer. Just want to say I really loved this workout!! Awesome work! Wish I were there in your class but this is next best thing and best belly dance workout on KZread. Thx, Theresa :D

This was a KILLER! I'm gonna hear you screaming 'SQUEEZE! SQUEEZE! SQUEEZE!' in my sleep... thanks a lot!

Hey Melissa :) I have just started taking belly dance classes and I came across this video and I just wanna say how great it is! I was able to follow and keep up and I felt like apart of the class! I hope to see more :) xo

Only made it 17 minutes in but I am dripping with sweat. I love this video, I will work at it to complete the whole hour!!!! This will be part of my routine.

I love how Nancy Ajram music is mix to this lesson. One of the best parts of this lesson!

Melissa BellyDance Melissa, you're so awesome. OMG tribal Metal!?! I wish you would come to San Miguel de Allende Mexico!!!

Great Instructor After much careful consideration, and couple days of sleepless nights I'm giving up Yoga .And back to Belly dancing as my routine every morning. Will help move my Kundalini to the Mother Belly So my snake can be tamed. Anyway , will work out to this a couple weeks. Has been several years but I'm already trained. Just have to pick it back up. But you are a great instructor

Thank you SO MUCH for explaining which muscle groups are involved in hip lifts and hip drops. I have a very difficult time looking at an instructor and being able to tell how she is performing these moves--you explained it in such a way that I got them immediately.

Melissa, sou brasileira, danço há 18 anos e dou aulas há 14. Fiquei encantada com sua alegria, seu Alto Astral! Linda a sua aula! Adorei acompanhar cada pedacinho! Meu estilo de aula é um pouco diferente, mas levo a mesma alegria para minhas alunas, por isso a minha identificação. A Energia que a Professora faz circular em aula é extremamente importante! Parabéns! (Melissa, I am Brazilian, I dance for 18 years and I teach there are 14. I was delighted with his joy, his Alto Astral! His marvelous lesson! I loved follow every bit! My teaching style is a little different, but I take the same joy to my students, so my identification. The energy that the teacher circulates in class is extremely important! Congratulations!)

Hey Melissa: I love how you broke down moves in a way that was easy for learners to translate into moves they are familiar with. I have found that many instructors teach belly dance moves in terms and in relation to feelings and movements that only other dancers are familiar with. I really love how you make complicated moves easy for people to understand.

This is great !thank you for sharing!

you are an awesome teacher. I learnt some new muscle isolations from you. Normally teachers dont really teach from the muscle point of view. Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed your class

loved the workout! looking forward for more

Loved it!! worth every minute! Wish I were in the UK to take the class. Awesome teacher!

I want to lear belly dance but I am embarrassed to go to get classes because I am 16 and I don't know how to dance, feel like I would look like a dumbass with all girls my age having a lot of experience im dancing.. Guess I'll stick around trying to teach myself how to do it..
