Sizzlin’ Hips

Moving the hips in isolation from – or in coordination with – the ribcage is the essence of Raqs Sharki.

Ava Fleming’s signature style is based on relaxation within muscular and skeletal isolations, and weight distribution. All that requires understanding exactly how each movement is created. So Ava teaches muscle identification, with exercises to help you connect to the specific muscles you will use. It also requires correct posture, so Ava gives special emphasis to proper body placement to achieve the desired affects safely and gracefully. She breaks down how to execute many popular belly dance hip movements using various motivator techniques – it’s the same move but with very different effects! Let Ava show you how to make your hips do exactly what you want them to.

Sizzlin’ Torso

Moving the ribcage in isolation from – or in coordination with – the hips is the essence of Raqs Sharki.

Ava breaks down how to execute many popular belly dance upper body movements using various motivator techniques – it’s the same move but with very different effects! Ava includes fun combinations and plenty of drilling so you’ll really feel why an “internal” rib slide looks very different from an “external” rib slide. More than just technique, by giving you greater awareness of how you dance, Ava’s movement theory will increase your dance vocabulary, add juiciness to your fluid curves, and crisp precision to your accents. You’ll discover and create more intricate layers in your dance, so you- and your audience – will enjoy your dancing even more!

Dynamic Combinations – Traveling in Style

It was once said of a great belly dancer that she could dance in the space of a single tile. But with today’s big stages and exciting music, sometimes you just have to get off the tile and move!

In this video, Ava Fleming teaches you how to Travel in Style! Starting with grand entrances to immediately grab your audience, she shows you how to move from Point A to Point B using exciting and fun traveling combinations. Ava breaks down and demonstrates each movement, completely explaining the technique and transitions, including weight changes and correct posture with an emphasis on safe movement. She also includes variations and tips on styling.
