Gestures are more than just embellishments to body language; they are an integral aspect of it! Setting the tone and topic for the audience is a terrific way to grab their attention, and using the power of gestures and natural human expression to connect and interact is a great method to do so. Technique is the cornerstone of bellydance. The creative gesture is heart and soul!
