Belly Dance Every Day - Rib Circles Part 3
Instead of being done by “drawing” your circle on the floor (like the horizontal rib circle), vertical rib circles are done by making a circle on the wall.
Begin by lifting your ribs up and go back to center. Slide your ribcage right and back to center. “Drop” your ribcage down and come back to center. Slide your ribcage left and back to center. Try this several times, remembering to check your posture and relax. Reverse it to increase your extension.
Next, lift your ribcage up, slide right, drop your ribcage (keeping the extension to the right), slide to center (staying dropped), slide left, lift your ribcage and slide to center. You will be drawing a rectangle at this point. Repeat until you are comfortable, reversing.
Finally, you will take the move above and smooth it out to a circle. Do this both clockwise and counterclockwise.
Watch yourself in a mirror to make sure you aren’t tilting your shoulders and to work on isolating this move.
