As part of our arabian nights perfomance we had to have a clear idea of the arabian culture, so Gillian done a Belly dancing workshop with us as many women do Belly dancing in the arabian culture. Gillian has done Belly dancing in the past which helped us know the basic movements.
We Started off by doing a warm up which was very different to any other warm up we have done in the past. We were standing in a circle and had to 'isolate' many parts of our body such as hips, arms and also head. I found this very difficult as it was very new to me because I had never done it before however after doing it for a while I started to find it getting easier and easier.
When we had learnt the movements, we were all told to get into groups and create a little belly dancing sequence.
I never found intrest in Belly dancing however after this workshop with Gillian I have really been excited to perform a show thats based on a different culture.
