This  lesson plan page is my personnel lesson plan.  This is the order which my students learn and the terminology I use.  This is meant as a general guide or as a basic plan that can be used in teaching belly dance.  All dancers use diferent terminology, descriptions, and ways of teaching, which may or may not match the ones you shown here. This is for reference only. 

WARNING:  DO NOT ATTEMPT THESE MOVES WITHOUT THE AID OF A PROFESSIONAL TEACHER AS DAMAGE TO HIPS, KNEES, LOWER BACK, AND NECK CAN OCCUR IF DONE IMPROPERLY.  THESE LESSON PLANS ARE TO BE USED AS AN AID IN UNDERSTANDING THE MOVES AND NOT AS A STAND-ALONE LEARNING TOOL
