I watched this video 2 months ago. And when I first started I COULD NOT do it. Magically, just from TRYING I started getting it. Now I can do it perfectly and I can do the reverse as well. Crazy how your mind makes the connection even when it doesn’t seem like it. Thank you 🙏🏻

Best video to date. I have been teaching my students the "jeans off, jeans on" technique for sometime now but had totally missed the top and bottom belly exercises. Thanks so much ❤️
haha yes the jeans on and off is a great example. :) Thank you so much! I appreciate that! If you’re interested I have a free class for my followers. Please send me your email address and I’ll get that to you. Details in the description.

Thank you for this excellent video! I love the two fingers up and down. When I introduce this move to new students I have them pair up and "play ping pong." They face each other and when one person's tummy is out the other is in and they have to synchronise their ins and outs 😄 This really helps gain strength and control (also a great icebreaker 😉), but explaining the up/down roll was difficult. I hope you don't mind, I am going to use the two fingers next time, thank you 💜
The top is difficult to access. When you say practice more, do you i should keep trying to access upper belly or. Do you mean practice the middle portion. Because I think I only can access the middle. :(
Thanks for the love! I have a free class specifically for those who follow my YT channel. If you’d like, please send me your email and I can send that to you. Details in the description.
why everytime I try to push in the upper abs I do the vacuum? I guess it's wrong because you can speak while contracting it, so it cannot be a vacuum.. omg so hard

i did a quick one on my YT and FB page. :) @theinnerdancer, FB: Samantha Karim. Also, please check out my new website! Join my newsletter and get tips on how to start dancing more. :) SamanthaKarim.com
So i achieved to identify the muscles and to push them out but i can't see a big difference from the neutral position. I mean i can't push my belly out (the movement isn't showing on the mirror.) Do you get what i am saying? If you get it, is there any advice you could give me?
keep working at it. it takes time to build up that range of motion. you can also a bigger difference by going in first then going out. Hope that helps!
As long as you are medically cleared to do so then yes! Many people have scoliosis and belly dance. They just work with their body while they learn and dance.
Hey there! Nope, has nothing to do with your belly size. :). Keep going and keep trying to push against the two fingers. It might take a little time but the more you try the more body awareness you'll have.

You give me hope, because i still can't do it.

The best tip I've seen for belly roll, but it's not very easy move, so it takes practice. Thank you Samantha, you're a cool and good teacher☺🌼
Thank you so much!
Hi. How does the practice work. Please dumb it down for me. :(" I'm unable to access upper belly muscles.
Thank you for this excellent video! I love the two fingers up and down.
When I introduce this move to new students I have them pair up and "play ping pong." They face each other and when one person's tummy is out the other is in and they have to synchronise their ins and outs 😄 This really helps gain strength and control (also a great icebreaker 😉), but explaining the up/down roll was difficult. I hope you don't mind, I am going to use the two fingers next time, thank you 💜
Absolutely!! Glad it was helpful!!
Best explanation ever!
Thank you so much!
Literally doing this while laying down and it worked! Thank you for such a great tutorial!!

Hi
Lying down? Am i missing something
Laying down?
How do you separate breathing with belly work??? Where do you breathe from? Chest?
Thanks!
Very good teacher 👏

I know this is a daft question, but I'm a big lady. Can bodies like mine do this because I've tried and to no avail
why everytime I try to push in the upper abs I do the vacuum? I guess it's wrong because you can speak while contracting it, so it cannot be a vacuum.. omg so hard
Merciiii

Do you have a tip for skinny people ?
I either do the body roll or i only push the lower belly. And if i control my movement and try to do it i look like I'm twitching 😭😭😭✌️
So i achieved to identify the muscles and to push them out but i can't see a big difference from the neutral position. I mean i can't push my belly out (the movement isn't showing on the mirror.) Do you get what i am saying? If you get it, is there any advice you could give me?
keep working at it. it takes time to build up that range of motion. you can also a bigger difference by going in first then going out. Hope that helps!
@@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer thank you. I've already started to see a difference but only in the upper abs. So i guess i just need practice❤
💝💝💝
the sound is very low
I don't have much of a belly to do this. I'm small bone girl. My belly don't want to be push out
You don't need any type of belly to do it, you work with your body how it is today.
I have scoliosis and my alignment is off I can still learn to belly dance
As long as you are medically cleared to do so then yes! Many people have scoliosis and belly dance. They just work with their body while they learn and dance.
I can't move my belly. How exactly do you do this? I'm a little overweight. Is it because my belly is big that it doesn't move?
Hey there! Nope, has nothing to do with your belly size. :). Keep going and keep trying to push against the two fingers. It might take a little time but the more you try the more body awareness you'll have.
@@SamanthaKarimTheInnerDancer So how do I move my belly? When I breathe, it moves a little but it moves little.
I give up😢
Don't give up. You're just not there yet. Keep going.
God the top is so hard
it totally is! but with time, I'm sure you will get it.
Don't feel bad for me its the bottom part! 🤣
Samantha how do we get your on line classes? The link in this video is not good on my end.
Gosh i did it and i burped a lot of gass..
lol yes that tends to happen
This is dumb. I don’t know how anybody does thos
you have an amazing stomach.
