"Desert Dreams" aka "Amir Beledi" Belly Dance 
The "sister" dance to "All Abs Drum", this simple and cute beginner level dance is a great way to start to learn belly dancing. It features many of the common beginner level moves and provides therefore a great technique foundation for beginners.
Desert Dreams is pure belly dance - it has slow, slinky, smooth movements to go along with the gorgeous accordion & explosive sharp powerful movements when the tempo picks up & the drum beats come in fast & fabulous. This dance is a definite show stopper!
Even though this dance is jaw dropping & super impressive to watch, it's very accessible for absolute beginners, which is why it is one of our Level 1 choreographies. It's a solid beginner level choreography in which you will learn & use many of our Level 1 technique.
