Belly Dance Every Day - More Ribs Part 2
For a vertical rib figure 8, imagine drawing your eight on the wall in front of you.
Lift your ribcage and slide it to the right, drop your ribcage while keeping it extended. Slide it back to the center and bring it up to your natural position. Do the same moving to the left - lift, slide, drop and move back. Do this several times hitting all the points until you are comfortable. Next, round out your move into an eight.
Reverse the move just for practice: drop, slide lift and come back to center on both sides.
Try holding your arms out or keeping your hands on your hips to help with isolating this move.
