DISCLAIMER: I'm not knocking Amira Mor at all by asking this question, I really want to make sure I know what is correct and what is not....
I just came across this video on YouTube and it struck me that the way Amira teaches a hip circle in this video is pretty much exactly how I say NOT to do it.
Amira was my first teacher and I studied with her for over two years...this is how I learned to bellydance. And my lower back has been seriously injured ever since (I had no idea I was supposed to tuck my butt under and keep my lower abs engaged for "good posture" until I found another teacher).
So, am I crazy or is the way she teaches a hip circle seriously not good for your back?
