I like The Art of the Drum Solo by Issam Houshan. It's got a lot of musicality that is great for different interpretations. I like to incorporate Raqs Sharqi percussive accents with Tribal micros and "choppy" accents. I can let myself really go with this and not worry about missing beats cause I can easily pick up one. Sometimes I just lose the bellydance altogether and just dance to it Hahahaha!

It's not the only song I like to use but it is a fun one.

Great! I love fitness videos so these are lots of fun. I love core work so the abs and booty burn I really liked. I'm going to add that to my regular playlist. The sides of my hips ache but I'll live, hahaha!

How pretty! It looks like a mixture of traditional raqs sharqi and old Hollywood. Love the fun spirit and kudos for not freaking out when your headdress malfunctioned. I'd be so nervous about that 😆 The white costume was very glamourous too. 

Sadie MarquardtOk great! Thank you!

Sadie MarquardtHi Sadie,

That's great! Thank you for letting me know. I do have a question not pertaining to the choreo. Can I ask what dance shoe/sock you recommend? I see you're wearing a light slip on. I'm looking for something like that that will allow me to turn and choo-choo without snagging my knees. 

If I can post an unlisted youtube video and post it here instead of social media (don't have it), I'm going to give it a try!

Hi, I have a question. So, I don't have any social media. Is it possible to link a youtube video for this challenge instead? Or does it have to be on Instagram?

Raqs OnlineHi Sadie, that's awesome! I can't wait to see it. 

that was awesome!

Thank you!

Have you ever done a choreo or danced to Alf Leila wa Leila? I think you could rock that song.

Love the ab workouts!
