Martine Tremblay Welcome to Raqs Online!! Thank you for this very insightful question. I have added your request to my cue for upcoming content. Stay tuned!!

Julie Saad This makes me so happy to hear. I love how dance is such a beautiful journey of finding ease and grace in our bodies. I am so happy you unlocked another level 🎉 Keep me posted and thank you so much for sharing. I think it so helpful for others to read and relate to these moments.

Anna Mayssa Yes, that is normal. Does this image look like the spot you feel it? The tensor fasciae latae? I will also feel that when doing repetitive or big pelvic movements. Especially on Maya's for me.

Aurora  I am so happy you enjoyed this class and love Raqs Online. That is my goal🥰🌹 Keep up the great work!!

Hi Idelsy Wow! What a compliment. I am so happy to know you enjoyed this class. I just got back in to my heavy lifting again. Its so hard for me to stay consistent with my travels but I am home all summer. I feel sooooo good lifting heavy again. You go girl!!

Hello Angelique M. Thank you for the question. As for the footwork, yes, you can still consider that a slower alternating chasse. When adding hipwork youy may find adding variations such a single on that last step to be easier as you go faster or in the case of adding something like an arabesque like I did in the video. Steps like this are highly stylized and will be done and seen a number of ways so hopefully I showed some options in the video. Enjoy and have fun stylizing this one to work for you and your preference. 💕

Hi Janice Thanks for checking in. I am in the process of starting a podcast and hope to have many lovely conversations on the topic. I recently did an interview with Iana on the topic as well: https://www.ianadance.com/bellydance-life/episode359
