Love this!!! I’ve been trying a bunch of different beginner tutorials and this is the best one for learning how to isolate the small movements in the hips. I also appreciate that the mirror gives us a good angle of your profile so we can see how much to bend our legs. Thank you!
J Hitchcock
I’m almost 50 and taking up belly dancing as a way to improve my drumming, strengthen my core, and increase my flexibility and control in my back. This was just enough to challenge me while being simple enough to see that I will improve with practice. Thank you so much for giving something that I can comfortably work into my morning routine.

Thank you for this! I signed up and paid to take actual classes and they just threw us right into a routine and I felt super lost. They didn’t really take time to break down moves or anything. As a beginner to dance, and belly dance I felt overwhelmed and like I learned nothing. This is more of what I was looking for and expected in a beginner class. I learned more in this video than the classes I attended.

Shawna Morgan
One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can’t do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn’t teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn’t go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!

Wow, you actually motivated me to get off the couch, that never happens! I want to join your online class but I will be at work at 1:30 p.m. (in US). I hope you get to do more of the virtual classes so I can join during the summer! 🙂

Tilde Felicia Särelind

(Imagine you could maybe learn a whole new language after quarantine👍
Maricel Basal
Perfect tutorial as a bigginer like me, she is very excellent teacher I learn very fast
Jill Sable
Thank you for this! I signed up and paid to take actual classes and they just threw us right into a routine and I felt super lost. They didn’t really take time to break down moves or anything. As a beginner to dance, and belly dance I felt overwhelmed and like I learned nothing. This is more of what I was looking for and expected in a beginner class. I learned more in this video than the classes I attended.

She’s a great teacher, the best
Shawna Morgan
One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can’t do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn’t teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn’t go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!

J Hitchcock
I’m almost 50 and taking up belly dancing as a way to improve my drumming, strengthen my core, and increase my flexibility and control in my back.

But I enjoyed it and worked up a sweat. I’ll be working on this one for a while yet. Thank you for your hard work. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

C Ro

Abi Kowalewski

Luza R
I love it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Aztec Girl
Omg I am finally getting the steps. I never thought I was ever going to get any of it but I finally did. I’m have a hard time with the part where you step side to side and lift your hip. I have dyslexia so I can’t get which hip you lift. Do you lift the hip that has the bent leg? Or the straight leg? I watch it over and over but my brain just doesn’t grasp it. 🤦🏽♀️. 12:43 is where my brain will not connect which hip to lift. Lord help me! Lol!! Even though I look like a baby chick coming out of the egg, trying to move my arms, I’m still having fun!! 😂
LeeAnn Immenhauser
I know this is a year old, but I really enjoyed this video so much! I have followed along twice now and have never belly danced before in my life. This was really fun and a great beginner work out! I’m going to check out your other videos when I start feeling brave enough to lol
Yassmin Ali
I just want to tell you that you are absolutely the best. Your energy and the way you explain is just fantastic. Keep up the good work
Sarah Browning
Thank you so much! I may be late to this party, but this is the first and only beginner’s workout I’ve managed to convince myself to complete in what feels like years. Not only did you present it in a natural and fun way, but you clearly explained everything, and demonstrated slowly enough that even massively overweight people like myself can follow along and feel proud of working up a sweat. I’ll definitely be back!
AJ N
Your videos really inspire me, Leilah. At first, I wasn’t very fond of this belly dancing. I started when I see fat around my belly. I am tired of tabata or normal workout when i hardly sweat. Then i decided to try belly dance when I think it would help. Surprisingly, it only took me a month to get my dream body. Yeah, I do practise a lot from your videos, Leilah. Thank you so much. Just please don’t stop producing more videos. Lots of ♥️ from Malaysia
Vendetta
Awesome course, if I was any closer I’d totally apply… I always loved belly dancing and wanted to try it, especially since I can move my hips very smooth already, but there’s no belly dance school anywhere in my area so yea.
Jessica Williams
This is such a great workout! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing. I’m a former dancer, so this is great for helping me get back into shape!
Vivian Cheah
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your lesson. My first belly snack lesson..love the best behind
, the setting and your smile.. makes me want to smile when dancing. There are so many belly dance videos on iTunes but I really enjoyed yours the best.
Alise Miller

Faye Lopez
5:55 the upper body was just like sitting on the hips like it’s not really attached in it 🤣🤣🤣

I’dRatherBeReading
Love this!!! I’ve been trying a bunch of different beginner tutorials and this is the best one for learning how to isolate the small movements in the hips. I also appreciate that the mirror gives us a good angle of your profile so we can see how much to bend our legs. Thank you!
J Hitchcock
I’m almost 50 and taking up belly dancing as a way to improve my drumming, strengthen my core, and increase my flexibility and control in my back. This was just enough to challenge me while being simple enough to see that I will improve with practice. Thank you so much for giving something that I can comfortably work into my morning routine.
Alameye Shomali

Maricel Basal
Perfect tutorial as a bigginer like me, she is very excellent teacher I learn very fast
Jill Sable
Thank you for this! I signed up and paid to take actual classes and they just threw us right into a routine and I felt super lost. They didn’t really take time to break down moves or anything. As a beginner to dance, and belly dance I felt overwhelmed and like I learned nothing. This is more of what I was looking for and expected in a beginner class. I learned more in this video than the classes I attended.

Shawna Morgan
One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can’t do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn’t teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn’t go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!

Getting a belly piercing this weekend….and I want some moves to show it off🤪😉
Sir Canavar
Thank you for making these for begginers videos, thanks to them I’m able to start dancing like I always wanted with way less headaches!!!
And sorry for asking, but can someone maybe help me with a problem I have doing this moviment?
My knees, especially the lower part, hurt considerably when I do it.
Does someone knows what I may be doing wrong?
Maybe I am not pushing through the floor hard enough and all the force is being made by my knees? Alternatively, I don’t have strength enough to keep my thighs n other muscles engaged n once again all the force is being generated by my knees? On the other hand, maybe I am simple not using the right points of support of the feet? ^^”
Be Andal
You’re going at it too fast and a complete beginner can’t keep up.
Takiari Meyrimo
How do you do the shimmy!!!!!!! When I try, all I achieve is shaking my butt!!!!! Also, this is the only workout that I felt compelled to smile on my own, waaaaaaaaaay before you reminded us to smile! Such good energy from this video!

I’dRatherBeReading
Love this!!! I’ve been trying a bunch of different beginner tutorials and this is the best one for learning how to isolate the small movements in the hips. I also appreciate that the mirror gives us a good angle of your profile so we can see how much to bend our legs. Thank you!
J Hitchcock
I’m almost 50 and taking up belly dancing as a way to improve my drumming, strengthen my core, and increase my flexibility and control in my back. This was just enough to challenge me while being simple enough to see that I will improve with practice. Thank you so much for giving something that I can comfortably work into my morning routine.
Alameye Shomali

Maricel Basal
Perfect tutorial as a bigginer like me, she is very excellent teacher I learn very fast
Jill Sable
Thank you for this! I signed up and paid to take actual classes and they just threw us right into a routine and I felt super lost. They didn’t really take time to break down moves or anything. As a beginner to dance, and belly dance I felt overwhelmed and like I learned nothing. This is more of what I was looking for and expected in a beginner class. I learned more in this video than the classes I attended.

She’s a great teacher, the best
Shawna Morgan
One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can’t do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn’t teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn’t go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!

WOW I use to belly dance everyday. I stopped for a few years and thought it would be a sinch for me to get back into it. LMAO I was so uncoordinated it isn’t funny. But I enjoyed it and worked up a sweat. I’ll be working on this one for a while yet. Thank you for your hard work. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

Aztec Girl
Omg I am finally getting the steps. I never thought I was ever going to get any of it but I finally did. I’m have a hard time with the part where you step side to side and lift your hip. I have dyslexia so I can’t get which hip you lift. Do you lift the hip that has the bent leg? Or the straight leg? I watch it over and over but my brain just doesn’t grasp it. 🤦🏽♀️. 12:43 is where my brain will not connect which hip to lift. Lord help me! Lol!! Even though I look like a baby chick coming out of the egg, trying to move my arms, I’m still having fun!! 😂
LeeAnn Immenhauser
I know this is a year old, but I really enjoyed this video so much! I have followed along twice now and have never belly danced before in my life. This was really fun and a great beginner work out! I’m going to check out your other videos when I start feeling brave enough to lol
Yassmin Ali
I just want to tell you that you are absolutely the best. Your energy and the way you explain is just fantastic. Keep up the good work
Sarah Browning
Thank you so much! I may be late to this party, but this is the first and only beginner’s workout I’ve managed to convince myself to complete in what feels like years. Not only did you present it in a natural and fun way, but you clearly explained everything, and demonstrated slowly enough that even massively overweight people like myself can follow along and feel proud of working up a sweat. I’ll definitely be back!
AJ N
Your videos really inspire me, Leilah. At first, I wasn’t very fond of this belly dancing. I started when I see fat around my belly. I am tired of tabata or normal workout when i hardly sweat. Then i decided to try belly dance when I think it would help. Surprisingly, it only took me a month to get my dream body. Yeah, I do practise a lot from your videos, Leilah. Thank you so much. Just please don’t stop producing more videos. Lots of ♥️ from Malaysia
Vendetta
Awesome course, if I was any closer I’d totally apply… I always loved belly dancing and wanted to try it, especially since I can move my hips very smooth already, but there’s no belly dance school anywhere in my area so yea.

This was great, I’ve been looking for “names of belly dance moves” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Tiyammad Belly Bulldozer – (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.

I’m almost 50 and taking up belly dancing as a way to improve my drumming, strengthen my core, and increase my flexibility and control in my back. This was just enough to challenge me while being simple enough to see that I will improve with practice. Thank you so much for giving something that I can comfortably work into my morning routine.

(Imagine you could maybe learn a whole new language after quarantine👍
Maricel Basal
Perfect tutorial as a bigginer like me, she is very excellent teacher I learn very fast
Jill Sable
Thank you for this! I signed up and paid to take actual classes and they just threw us right into a routine and I felt super lost. They didn’t really take time to break down moves or anything. As a beginner to dance, and belly dance I felt overwhelmed and like I learned nothing. This is more of what I was looking for and expected in a beginner class. I learned more in this video than the classes I attended.

She’s a great teacher, the best
Shawna Morgan
One year ago exactly, July 2019 my friend and I signed up for 5 belly dancing classes for fun and fitness. I can’t do the gym. Anyway the instructor was super nice and a very good belly dancer but was not a good teacher. She said she couldn’t teach us by count, which is essential for beginners! Needless to say after 2 classes my friend and I were discouraged and didn’t go back. Leilah is 20 times the teacher and I really enjoy this short routine because the basics are important, the cornerstone to being sucessful!

WOW I use to belly dance everyday. I stopped for a few years and thought it would be a sinch for me to get back into it. LMAO I was so uncoordinated it isn’t funny. But I enjoyed it and worked up a sweat. I’ll be working on this one for a while yet. Thank you for your hard work. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.

I love it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Aztec Girl
Omg I am finally getting the steps. I never thought I was ever going to get any of it but I finally did. I’m have a hard time with the part where you step side to side and lift your hip. I have dyslexia so I can’t get which hip you lift. Do you lift the hip that has the bent leg? Or the straight leg? I watch it over and over but my brain just doesn’t grasp it. 🤦🏽♀️. 12:43 is where my brain will not connect which hip to lift. Lord help me! Lol!! Even though I look like a baby chick coming out of the egg, trying to move my arms, I’m still having fun!! 😂
LeeAnn Immenhauser
I know this is a year old, but I really enjoyed this video so much! I have followed along twice now and have never belly danced before in my life. This was really fun and a great beginner work out! I’m going to check out your other videos when I start feeling brave enough to lol
Yassmin Ali
I just want to tell you that you are absolutely the best. Your energy and the way you explain is just fantastic. Keep up the good work
Sarah Browning
Thank you so much! I may be late to this party, but this is the first and only beginner’s workout I’ve managed to convince myself to complete in what feels like years. Not only did you present it in a natural and fun way, but you clearly explained everything, and demonstrated slowly enough that even massively overweight people like myself can follow along and feel proud of working up a sweat. I’ll definitely be back!
AJ N
Your videos really inspire me, Leilah. At first, I wasn’t very fond of this belly dancing. I started when I see fat around my belly. I am tired of tabata or normal workout when i hardly sweat. Then i decided to try belly dance when I think it would help. Surprisingly, it only took me a month to get my dream body. Yeah, I do practise a lot from your videos, Leilah. Thank you so much. Just please don’t stop producing more videos. Lots of ♥️ from Malaysia
Vendetta
Awesome course, if I was any closer I’d totally apply… I always loved belly dancing and wanted to try it, especially since I can move my hips very smooth already, but there’s no belly dance school anywhere in my area so yea.
Jessica Williams
This is such a great workout! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing. I’m a former dancer, so this is great for helping me get back into shape!
Vivian Cheah
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your lesson. My first belly snack lesson..love the best behind
, the setting and your smile.. makes me want to smile when dancing. There are so many belly dance videos on iTunes but I really enjoyed yours the best.
Alise Miller

5:55 the upper body was just like sitting on the hips like it’s not really attached in it 🤣🤣🤣
Kayla Dile
This was amazing and so helpful! I haven’t been able to find an exercise that I like, but now I have. It worked my entire body and I feel invigorated instead of drained. Plus it was nearly 30 min! Hell yeah thank you so much for your content!

Michelle Flores
Getting a belly piercing this weekend….and I want some moves to show it off🤪😉
Sir Canavar
Thank you for making these for begginers videos, thanks to them I’m able to start dancing like I always wanted with way less headaches!!!
And sorry for asking, but can someone maybe help me with a problem I have doing this moviment?
My knees, especially the lower part, hurt considerably when I do it.
Does someone knows what I may be doing wrong?
Maybe I am not pushing through the floor hard enough and all the force is being made by my knees? Alternatively, I don’t have strength enough to keep my thighs n other muscles engaged n once again all the force is being generated by my knees? On the other hand, maybe I am simple not using the right points of support of the feet? ^^”
Be Andal
You’re going at it too fast and a complete beginner can’t keep up.
Takiari Meyrimo
How do you do the shimmy!!!!!!! When I try, all I achieve is shaking my butt!!!!! Also, this is the only workout that I felt compelled to smile on my own, waaaaaaaaaay before you reminded us to smile! Such good energy from this video!
Lola Elaine

Luciet Caroline
This was great, I’ve been looking for “names of belly dance moves” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Tiyammad Belly Bulldozer – (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.
Usha Sharan
Thanku very much for this teaching. Actually I m a kathak dancer . I always want to learn various dance styles especially belly dance . So thanku very much for teaching me 😊

Best bellydance tutorial ever. I love the way Leilah patiently breaks down every move. She actually gives me hope that I might be able to pick some of this up.

Hello Leila; I’m watching your “Belly Dance “ beginners. I’m in New York now, next year 2021 February I’m going home back to my country to execute my goals I on-going working. I will have my own studio with teaching of Yoga , Pilates, Zumba and Belly Dance. Kind of funny i cannot move my upper parts of the body. After execution, before opening, I wanted a vacation in Europe including London, maybe I can go to your class. Your nice to gave us your audience a slow move to follow. I’m following you now. God Bless You! Thank YOU.

I love this!!! Thank you so much for this great beginners video 🙂 I discovered that my “natural dancing” (when i let my body just flow to the music) is a lot like belly dancing so it feels very natural to me!
Vee
I’ve been watching and coming back to your videos for over an year now! What you do really helps. Thanks a lot Leilah!!❤️❤️
