8 Elements of Belly Dance

This channel features videos about Rachel Brice's Eight™ Elements of Belly Dance Approach. http://www.rachelbrice.com/about8elements/

The 8 Elements™ approach is taught through multi-phase intensives which explore 8 key concepts, building from the simple to the complex, with the purpose of developing a healthy dance practice while demystifying the process of dance making.

These intensives, and the assignments between them, are designed to impart a strong, creative, and dynamic foundation for belly dance practice, and as a way to complement and converse with the many belly dance styles. The intention of this process-centered approach is not to teach a set style of belly dance, but to explore the underlying architecture of many dance styles, honoring traditions, while encouraging discovery, excellence, innovation and joy.
