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!!

They are two different moves, but both are "real" belly dance moves. I think Rachel "puffs" her belly where she's not contracting it, so that makes her belly roll look more dramatic. Not sure though...I don't think she breaks it down that way in her instruction, but I'm pretty sure that's part of how she gets that extreme look.
