But wait! How is HipNotica™ different from the Belly Motions (BM) 8-week Programs?
Great question! The answer is simple: HipNotica™ follows a fitness model and focuses on delivering an effective workout. The Belly Motions Programs follow the dance model and focus on step-by-step breakdown and full comprehension of movements. Both are low-impact and provide an excellent form of exercise, however, HipNotica’s™ sole purpose is to burn calories in a fun, creative way, while our Program classes serve to teach the art of Belly Dance.
In addition, HipNotica™ classes are open and on-going meaning anyone can walk in at any time, while the Belly Motions Programs require registration and are taught in 8-week Programs that follow a syllabus.
Don’t be fooled, the Belly Motions Programs and HipNotica™ help each other! Why?
Simply put, the better technique you have the more effective your workouts will become. This same concept applies to Pilates, Yoga or many other mind-body fitness formats. In the beginning, students tend to have poor posture and often use momentum to produce movements placing strain on the major joints and lower back. With proper posture and muscular contractions students will continually improve muscular endurance making any workout much more effective (while also preventing injury). For this reason, HipNotica™ and the Belly Motions Programs complement each other. The more experience you have with technique learned from the Belly Motions Programs, the more effective your HipNotica™ workouts will become!
