Now It's Belly Dance Dandiyaa

Funky international dance moves are the flavour

Navratri is here and it’s time to get those lehengas, chaniya cholis, kedias and kurtas out of the wardrobe. Wait. On second thoughts, you could reach for baggy pants instead of your dhotis! You might just need them while dancing to dandiya tunes- for this year, the traditional cosmic spin’s breaking the mould — with a belly dance, hiphop and salsa twist to it! And folks have been queuing up at dance classes to learn the new steps and show it off tonight onwards.

Trends are getting westernised’
According to dance teacher Ritambhara Sahni, the most popular of all moves is the belly-dance dandiya. “In fact, mothers want their kids to learn it as it’s not just graceful, but a great workout and it also builds the core of the body. It’s working well with dandiya steps as it’s a very adaptable dance form,” she says. And the buck doesn’t stop there. Ritesh Vadera, a regular at Mumbai’s dandiya nights, has got his season pass ready to do “something different at Navratri this time”. “We’ll be doing rapper-style steps and forward flips at the end. Those who saw us practising have been envious,” he grins. The current trend is seeing a westernised spin-off on the traditional dandiya. Says Trupti Thakkar, a dance teacher from Vashi, “Forget, the usual popat and matukki moves. People are taking classes in hip-hop dandiya and they ask for samba steps to be fused with this, too.”

But isn’t the music going to play spoilsport? “No, music can make up for any change. In fact, when we play the older Macarena song, it works perfectly. So do the new Bollywood remixes, which are blended with traditional songs. It’s easy to do the whirl steps with this new, fast version. In traditional style, you tap the stick of the partner before you turn and then move on to tap the stick of the next dancer; it’s like a loop. In the hip-hop blend, you just pause a little more while doing the steps. Guys love it, they’re absolutely rocking to the new beat. The only thing that’s the same are the dress and accessories!”

I would like to thank a wonderful journalist - ' Ismat Tahseen' for this amazing article and also photographer Prathamesh Bandekar for the beautiful pictures.

Belly Dance Institute Mumbai testimonial/ Belly Dance Institute Mumbai Testimonials by our students at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni

I am in love with belly dance institute Mumbai, in love with Ritambhara Sahni - my best belly dance teacher and my teacher ever. This is the belly dance class in Mumbai and in the whole world for me. I am glad i joint here. The place is so positive, when i enter and see so many students wearing their belly dancing belts and shimming. The noise of the belly dance belt makes me feel i am in a magical world. I worship belly dance and my belly dancing belt just like in London i worshiped my tap shoes when i Tap danced. Belly Dance Belts according to me complete this dance art. I am a dancer and learnt several forms but Ritambhara Sahni has created a magic in me and has got me addicted to belly dance. I never thought i would have a favorite dance form but after Jazz, Ballet and Tap dancing in London, i am now just addicted to belly dance. I must say that Ritambhara Sahni - her teachings and methods are even far beyond international standards. - Sonakshi Mehta

2 Kinds of Belly Dancing Belts

[Belly Dance Belts , Costumes, Props etc...]

So I, Ritambhara Sahni have decided to talk and post about various kinds of Belly Dancing Belts, Belly Dance Attire and costuming, and Belly Dance Props. How our students feel wearing them and what many professionals and my belly dance teachers have to say about them. We usually give information about 2 items and so in todays post we shall talk about two kinds of Belly Dancing Belts.

2 Kinds of Belly Dance Belts - Description by Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai

Beaded Belts [ Belly Dance Belts]

These belly dance belts are made only of beads - no coins really here. So again they do not make noise but look great over a costume. Beads can also be blended into a fringe belly dancing belt as i have seen in my collections over the years. Look great on costumes to perform and can be used for clubbing as well. I, Ritambhara Sahni at belly dance institute Mumbai have always felt that the jingle of your belly dance belt \belly dancing hip scarf pulls you towards the dance art and makes you feel 'complete' with the dance art and so do all my belly dance gurus all over the world feel the same.

Here are some beautiful pictures of beaded Belly Dancing Belts.

Tribal Belts [Belly Dance Belts]

Tribal Belly Dance is really my favorite. Being a hip hop dancer and having taught old school and new style hip hop for years, with elements of popping and locking being a part of tribal belly dancing makes me fall in love with this form in a unique way each day. Tribal belly dance looks ' bold' , it makes me feel 'bold and beautiful. So the costuming and belly dance belts used for the same look a bit 'loud' as opposed to the ' beautiful ' looking costumes used in oriental style of belly dancing.

Here are some pictures of tribal belly dance belts.

Found this 2 amazing videos on belly dance coin belts and different kinds of belly dancing belts and hip scarves- a different variety of belly dancing belts and i suggest you should watch it - these are really beautiful belly dance coin belts, beaded belts and tribal belts. They definitely do not make much noise on your shimmy but are great over a costume. A beautiful design of gold and silver over a bright colored costume will add wonders to the costume and its color and design.
