Belly rolls....some videos and instructionals on youtube sasy you must remain completely still and you should use your stomach muscles to contract and roll your tummy.

Then...you get the rachel brice video that shows her rolling her tummy but her butt and back kinda goes in and out with the roll....is this a body roll??

Im a little confused and once again I can do neither....im thinking of giving up here coz Im just not feeling very natural at this!!
Different styles of belly rolls engage different areas of the abdominal muscles. If your booty does not go out the back some, it is very difficult to engage the very lowest abdominal muscles. Both are correct depending on what kind of technique and look you are going for. And Tribal style tend to make all their rolls deeper and more undulating than any Oriental style.
