Prenatal Bellydance Sequence for Pregnancy and Birth - all levels

Hello dancers and welcome to this prenatal Bellydance sequence for beginner-level dancers and beyond.
This sequence was designed with Optimal Maternal Positioning in mind, using transitional movements to mobilise and balance the pelvis and allow Baby the opportunity to move into a favourable position for birth. Pelvic alignment and mobility are key factors in a smooth birth, and Bellydance during pregnancy and labor can help to support this. I used these transitional shapes throughout pregnancy and during labor and found them so soothing, even during the first part of my second daughter's very intense 45-minute birth.

Seek guidance from your obstetric care provider as to whether or not this sequence is right for you before following this video, and please listen to your body and only do what feels good.
Beautiful track is "Exiled" by Solace.

Dance on in splendour!

Started doing this every day at 33 weeks and now have hardly any back, abdominal, or pelvic pain! Now 37 weeks and still loving it. I definitely plan on using these movements during labor

That was nice and easy, a welcome introduction to dancing while pregnant.

This was so awesome. I used to do belly dance many years ago and loved it. This really got my hips flowing again. Heard lots of snap crackle pops during the figure 8s! I’m 16 weeks and I hope to do this routine many more times. Thank you!! 🤩
