What are the gestures of belly dancing in the Middle East?

Middle East dance is just a simple and authentic folk dance in the Arab region. By the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, westerners began to introduce this dance to the world. Driven by commercial interests, Middle East dance was packaged as an attractive and charming dance full of the original passion of the Middle East world, and began to spread around the world in the name of "belly dance". Middle East belly dance gesture 1- triangle exercise: the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger naturally come together, relax, stretch horizontally, put the tip of thumb at the second joint of middle finger, and arch the finger root joint. Seen from the side, the hand is triangular. Tip: The most unpretentious posture of belly dancing, the original Egyptian style, reveals an inner strength and charm with a gentle finger pinch. Middle East belly dance gesture 2 refers to practice: fingers close together, and the whole palm is a plane when viewed from the side. Tip: It is often used to bend the elbow and press the wrist, that is, the common hand shape in ancient Egyptian pyramid murals. Middle East Belly Dance Gesture 3- Natural Method: The wrist is slightly pressed down, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are naturally stretched horizontally, the fingertips are slightly upturned, the thumb is down, the middle finger is slightly pressed down, and it is close to the thumb. Tip: Many people can easily confuse this gesture with the orchid finger. Orchid finger is the hand type of China dance, so it is very important to hold the wrist to pick the finger and press the finger root hard. But this gesture of belly dancing is much more natural, which requires fingers to present a relaxed and natural layering. Gesture 4 of belly dance in the Middle East-Wave Style: Wrist, finger root, knuckles and fingertips are lifted up in turn, and then pressed down in turn to complete a wave, which is repeated to imitate the rolling state of the wave. Tip: Imitating water flow by hand is the best evidence that belly dance originated from nature. This action is also one of the actions that can best reflect the gentleness of women like water. Middle East Belly Dance Gesture 5- Rotation Practice: Take the wrist as the axis, the hand rotates inward, the right hand rotates clockwise, and the left hand rotates counterclockwise. When rotating, relax your fingers. Tip: this gesture actually comes from the action of picking fruit when primitive tribal women work. The rotation in belly dance is mostly internal rotation, which is different from some external rotation gestures in Xinjiang dance and China folk dance. Therefore, if you put too fancy outward rotation gestures into belly dancing, it will make people feel very trite. Middle East Belly Dance Gesture 6- Wrist Lifting and Wrist Pressing Exercise: On the basis of finger pointing or embossing, wrist lifting and wrist pressing.
