This is not something that most belly dance instructors talk about but it sure should be talked about especially for those dancers who perform in front of an Arab audience.

This whole dropping the middle finger "tip" that a lot of belly dance instructors teach students to make the hand look less stiff is completely WRONG from a cultural stand point.

I also find that it really does not make your hands look less stiff, it might in fact make them look stiffer and it does not feel natural

Watch the video below as I share with you why this "tip" is not a good idea
