Hi Michelle,

We don’t currently have any merchandise for sale. We’ve thought about making something. If anything I wear is available for purchase I will always link it in the description of my video. 💕

Lauren Engstrom I am so happy you enjoyed it. I did link here socials in the video description. I would love to interview her. I will see if I can make that happen sooner than later.

Sabrina  The pelvic roll differs in that it stays in the pelvis. The midback and upper back stay in neutral so it doesn't become a body wave. The most honest answer I can give is all teachers are doing their best to explain the way they interpret movement in their body. I think certain moves do have some easily identifiable technical aspects but what you are getting at is an intersection of similarity between moves that are not exactly the same but share some commonalities. It is my personal observation that any hip movement that circles through different positions such as a back and front position is going to require a bit of pelvic flexion and extension (tilt up and down). Once you do the tilt and add a hip you are coming close to a circle. The difference here is that the pelvis is tilting and rounding through one hip mostly and back through center rather than evenly through both hips. I hope that helps. I like to use the mirror as a guide to let me know if I am achieving the desired effect and look. There will be at least some transition thorough the pelvis (roll) but not necessarily large enough to really notice. She is keeping the focus on the hip. In Raqs Sharqi we do incorporate the pelvic roll as a more defined part of the move.

She’s definitely got her own mojo and spice on this move for sure but a Hagallah shimmy will get you close technically. She’s heavily accenting the first accent with a strong sharp down on the left and pelvic drop on the right. I’d recommend you join a live so you can ask me about this and I can do my best to show you what I see. Keep in mind these moves look different from person to person. We can try to match it but body shape plays a role too.

It’s a bit different than Ami circle. It’s closer to what I teach as the one sided hip circle as if focuses on the hip more than full even rotation of pelvis. Here her hip is also coming from back to front. So there are similarities but if you’re looking for the technicality, they are different.

Alana I love this so much!! Ill let Vanessa know!

Cassandra Rhodes 🎉🙌 Great job!!!! That is an accomplishment. And I saw you joined Level 1. I'm so excited for your journey!

Gigi So happy to hear it!! Would love to know how you feel after doing it a few times.

Dear Maha, Congratulations🎉💕 What a beautiful blessing. I just spent a week with my 1 year old niece and nephew. Keep up the good work on your training. Luckily we have plenty of strength training videos at Raqs Online you can work with. I highly recommend adding in some weights. You can start with a few pounds and work up. That extra resistance is so good for maintaining muscle and creating the resistance we need for our dancing. Big Love!!!
