Sadie is a well known American bellydancer, who is famous for her impeccable technique and perfect isolations.br /br /I attended one of Sadie’s workshops on a href="http://www.worldbellydance.com/guides/Developing-good-isolations.html"isolation/a technique and drills and I have to say that hers was one of the toughest belly dance workshops I have ever attended. Sadie made us focus on upper body and lower body drills, combined with footwork at the same time. Some drills were easier than others, but after repeating drills for about three hours, we could really feel that our muscles had worked! The fact that some drills were carried out in addition to travelling steps around the room (i.e. chest lifts while doing Arabic walk), it meant that Sadie’s workshop was challenging for the mind as well as for the body.br /br /During the a href="http://www.worldbellydance.com/congress-UK.htm"International Belly dance Congress /aSadie performed on one of the evenings. Sadie’s performance was great, technically perfect and you can tell she is a very skilled dancer who has worked and still works hard to achieve that level of fitness. Sadie has made some instructional DVDs, which I am thinking of buying in the future.br /br /br /div------br /Now on World Belly Dance - a href="http://www.worldbellydance.com/events.html"Belly dance events/a and a href="http://www.worldbellydance.com/guides/"Dancing guides/a./divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29399419-1406954392519777767?l=www.worldbellydancer.org' alt='' //divimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BellyDanceWorld/~4/9kuxCEDz-U8" height="1" width="1"/ More...
