Hi Nelly, Sounds like you might enjoy a more advanced sword class that highlights more balancing on different body parts. This was our first few sword classes so wanted to start with basics. We will certainly add more advanced ones soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Christie, Great! I will put it on the list.
Hi Asma, keep you knees a little bent and keep the undulation initiated in the pelvis. with the pelvic roll movement. Sometime when you try to power it from the upper back and make the undulation that way it can pull you out of technique for the hip work. But I would need to see you doing it to make a better assement. Maybe this playlist can help: https://raqsonline.com/programs/collection-3-4-shimmy-tuneup

Hi Laura, Thats up to you and your budget. If you plan to perform you may want to go with the bigger, heavier one.

Hi again Laura, This type of sword is usually preferred for professionals, it is heavier but better balanced. The weight allows you better feel for what the sword is doing while dancing. Liz AziΒ might have additional thoughts.Β

Hi Laura, (Sadie here) I have a sword like this, it is light weight and easy to use. Because it is lighter it can slip a bit but still very user friendly.Β Liz AziΒ what are your thoughts.Β
