Claiming to be "the first belly dancer in China"
Belly dance, which is famous for its elegance and femininity, is regarded by most people as the "exclusive dance" for women. But there is a young male belly dancer in Beijing who calls himself "the first belly dancer in China". His name is Guo Wei. It's interesting to watch Guo Wei do belly dancing. First of all, he dressed up with a long ponytail, wearing a tight red vest with tassels on its four sides, wearing red culottes on his lower body, his abdomen exposed, and his hips surrounded by broken bells, necklaces, bracelets and other female ornaments. If you look from the back, it is definitely a beauty. Then there is his demeanor. When the music of belly dancing sounded, he seemed to be completely controlled by the music, and the bold dance movements were enough to make the onlookers "stunned".
Women's jumping improves the curve of Asian women.
Guo Wei revealed that he majored in aerobics when he was in college, because a bet with his classmates at a party happened on this road. "After being introduced by a friend, I went to study at the Royal Belly Dance Academy in Cairo, Egypt. Most of the students studying dance in school are girls, only four boys. And I am the only Asian. "
Guo Wei was just 25 when he returned to China. "At that time, there was no professional belly dance coach in China, so I seized this opportunity and started looking for a market in China." Guo Wei, who calls himself "the first person of belly dancing in China", said that belly dancing is a dance form with Arabic flavor, formerly known as "RaksSharki", which was commonly known as belly dancing after it was spread to the United States. "In fact, the real belly dance is very casual. In recent years, belly dancing has also become popular in China. Everyone regards belly dancing as a way of fitness, especially women. "
Guo Wei believes that belly dancing is the reason for its increasing popularity. "First of all, belly dancing has a good conditioning effect on women's physiology; Secondly, it can improve the inconspicuous curve of Asian women; Moreover, belly dancing will shape the body because of the increase or decrease of exercise and the change of practice methods; Small muscle groups that can exercise your body. " Watching Guo Wei do belly dancing can really give people a good feeling, except for the sense of gender dislocation. He said: "belly dancing is suitable for all kinds of people, regardless of age or sex, and it doesn't matter whether there is a dance foundation or not." From my teaching experience, the more people who have no dance foundation learn, the better they feel. "
Men's diligence is very suitable for beer bellies.
In most people's eyes, belly dancing by men always seems to be "neither fish nor fowl". Guo Wei admits that this is actually a wrong idea. "In the Arab countries, the birthplace of belly dancing, many coaches are men. In fact, men's belly dancing is more effective than women's, because men's muscle ability is relatively stronger, the range of belly dancing is greater, and the control of strength is better. Sometimes there are boys in my class, but the number is small. In addition to some routine dance postures, women should also cooperate with expressions and gorgeous costumes that meet the needs of dance. Men focus on muscle control, and some men have beer bellies. If you practice hard, it will have a good effect. "
Most people who have seen Guo Wei perform belly dancing will be "shocked" by his gentle and charming dance moves and expressions, and will naturally question his sexual orientation. In this regard, Guo Wei admitted: "I have been asked countless times. My life and acting are two different things. After work, I also play ball or do some other sports. Regarding sexual orientation, I don't care about others and I don't want others to interfere with me. " Guo Wei said that he never wanted others to pay attention to his gender. "I just want to be an inheritor and make belly dancing popular in China."
Trend: The proportion of boys learning belly dancing is getting higher and higher.
In Guo Wei's view, belly dancing has attracted more and more attention and admiration from men: "In fact, a boy's learning belly dancing depends on his purpose. If it is entirely for fitness and play, he doesn't have to do some charming movements, just practice a few basic movements such as somersault and shaking. Now in my training class, the proportion of boys is getting higher and higher. "
A male student surnamed Chen in Guowei training class told reporters that he practiced belly dancing to lose weight. "Because I haven't paid much attention to fitness in recent years, the beer belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I am going to take a wedding photo soon. My girlfriend urged me to lose weight quickly, so I thought of going belly dancing to reduce my abdomen. " Teacher Chen, who has studied for more than half a month, said that during his practice, he found that men have innate advantages over women in belly dancing, such as lower back and leg support. "Moreover, because belly dancing mainly moves the waist, abdomen and buttocks, it is really practical for those of us with beer bellies. The key is to persist. "
Belly dance class
Beginners: Practice the basic skills, and then slowly integrate the whole dance.
Clothing equipment: suspender vest+a delicate waist chain+a pair of tights.
Venue requirements: There are no special requirements for the venue, and the living room, bathroom or bedroom can be used as places to practice belly dancing.
For beginners, I suggest you practice the basic skills of belly dancing first. Then on this basis, the whole set of dances will be gradually integrated. Because the basic skills directly affect the visibility of dance movements in future performances. For some beginners, it is enough to add a delicate waist chain and a pair of tights to the suspender vest, practice barefoot, or wear non-slip socks, as long as you don't wear hard shoes. Learners above the intermediate level can add some clothes close to the clothing type when practicing at ordinary times. The costumes of real professional dancers are very gorgeous. In foreign countries, a professional belly dance costume costs five or six thousand yuan, and some even reach more than ten thousand yuan.
Different from other fitness methods, belly dancing has no requirements for venues. When belly dancing, sometimes you just need to stand, dance your waist and abdomen, and do some quick shaking movements like "Simi". Whether it is the living room, bathroom or bedroom, it can be used as a place to practice belly dancing. In fact, belly dancing is very simple, that is, the exercise of waist and abdomen muscles. If you just follow a class every week, the effect will definitely be poor. It is most important to practice at home every day. (
