Learn the Large Hip Circle, a beautiful beginner belly dance movement that creates bigger, flowing circles with your entire body.

In this tutorial, you’ll imagine your pelvis moving around a large barrel as you combine side reaches, soft knee bends, and a gentle hinge from the hips. You’ll discover how the upper body naturally balances the movement while the pelvis leads the circle.

This exercise helps you:

✨ Create larger, smoother hip circles
✨ Improve flexibility and hip mobility
✨ Build balance and body awareness
✨ Learn natural weight shifts through the feet
✨ Develop graceful, flowing movement for belly dance

Remember to move within a comfortable range and listen to your body. Smooth, controlled movement is more important than making the biggest circle.

Some songs become part of our life story. 💛

Shik Shak Shok has traveled with me from Egypt, to Canada, and finally to Mississippi. Now it is being passed on to another group of dancers.

Is there a special song that has followed you through different chapters of your life?

The Small Hip Circle starts with simple movements:
➡️ Slide
➡️ Forward
⬅️ Slide
⬅️ Back

By connecting these four directions, you’ll create a beautiful, controlled circle that’s used throughout belly dance.

This exercise helps you:
💜 Improve hip mobility
💜 Build core control
💜 Develop better balance
💜 Increase body awareness

One of my favorite parts of this drill is feeling how your weight moves through your feet. The more connected you are to the floor, the smoother your movement becomes.

Save this tutorial and practice a few minutes each day.

2007. I was 37 years old, and this was one of my very first belly dance performances in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. 💃

These are just snippets from the original video, which is about 20 minutes long.

I was still so new. Most of what I knew about belly dance came from books, a few DVDs, and practicing on my own.

Somehow, I rented a beautiful high-end restaurant called Churchill and created a women’s dance night for our local community.

About 100 people would show up, mostly women.

I would perform for about 15 minutes, then invite the ladies to dance with me for about 5 minutes. After that, the DJ would take over with great music and world music, and everyone would freestyle and dance together for the rest of the night.

I did several of these events, but somehow, this is the only one I have on video.

When I watch it now, I remember how new I really was. I had a mermaid-style dress, a bra I found on eBay, and matching spike heels. 😄

What you can’t see is how incredibly shy I was.

Performing was HARD for me. I had never been comfortable in front of crowds and felt awkward being seen.

But belly dance was changing something inside me.

At 37, I was beginning to love myself in a whole new way.

Belly dance was something new in our North Bay community, and I think people were drawn to the joy of it.

I didn’t have a big plan. I certainly didn’t know where this would lead.

I just knew this dance was changing me, and I wanted to share that feeling with other people.

Looking back almost 20 years later, I can see the little seed of everything that followed: classes, performances, cabarets, galas, students, and community.

Sometimes you don’t begin because you’re ready. You begin because something has awakened inside you, and you can’t help but share it. ✨
