5 easy ways to brush up on your belly dance technique during lockdown ✔️The 5/6 rule: Choose 1 particular move that you struggle with. Don't shy away now. Commit 5 minutes a day for 6 days in a row to nailing it. ✔️Keep stretching: Either do simple spinal roll downs from standing to the floor, try to touching your toes or forward folds. Keep it moving as even the most simple stretches make a difference. ✔️ Play with it: How can you make your hip drop look different? Spend 5 minutes trying to figure it out. Add a plie, change the level, Change the speed, body angle or hip angle. Have fun with it and play. ✔️Stuck shimmies: Every time your shimmies get stuck and stiffen up, sllloooooooowwwww iiiitttttttt ddoooooowwwwnnn. Slow motion your shimmies. Practice 5 mins a day for 6 days at half the speed you normally shimmy. ✔️Dust off your foundations: Watch my free Bellydance Study Buddy Tutorial playlist for your foundation bellydance moves.

I’m used to working from home occasionally while my children are at school, but I’ve found working from home while home schooling my children hard work. I've changed my routine and expectations to keep my sanity! Here are my top 5 tips for mums working from home:
