Tiny Belly Dance Mash Up – Episode 6

Zils with Syncopated hips
In this episode of the Tiny Belly Dance Mash Up, we’ll add the 3-1-2-1-1-1 zil pattern to the syncopated hip articulations beginning with a sweeping level change. This 8 count combo is the last of our 32 count movement combo and will move us back to the starting point in our “V” shaped floor pattern (from the front left corner to the back center). It feels a bit like a chiftitelli.
This is the most complex pattern duo in the full set. Check it out.
In the final episode of this series (next week), we’ll put the full 32 count zil and movement sequence together.
Watch now:
