So ,what do you wear to belly dance? Hi, I'm Johanna Krynytzky, and I'm here from Hip Expressions
Dance Studio in St. Petersburg, FL. The most popular belly dance accessory is a hip wrap.
Now there are many different types of hip wraps. For instance, the one I'm wearing today
has some coins on it, as well as some bead work. So, what that does is it shows off my
movement and I can hear the sound of my hips working. That's a lot of fun in dance class.
However, if you prefer not to make noise, you can get one that just has fringe on it
or bead work and not necessarily all the coins. Now the important things is to tie it down
around your hips, not your waist. We're accenting our hip movements so find your hip bones and
that's where you want to tie the scarf. SO, when you put on your hip wrap, tie it on the
sides and tie it securely. You want to do a double knot and let it hang down. So, then
when you do all your belly dancing, it's not going to fall off. If you don't tie it securely,
"swoosh", it's going to fall right to the floor. So, this is one example of some hip
scarfs you can wear. You can check online, see, shop around. Don't go with the cheapest
option because you want something that's going to be durable but see what colors you like
and we'll see you in belly dance class. I'm Johanna with Hip Expressions Belly Dance Studios.
