 Welcome To Hip Phylosophy
Welcome to Hip Phylosophy! My name is Leyla Najma and
I have been a belly dance enthusiast for over 26 years. Belly Dancing
(and specifically Egyptian Cabaret style dancing) has been a passion of mine since the age of 6 but really I think I was
born a belly dancer.
I remember watching Saturday morning cartoons when I
saw Belly Dancers on TV and knew immediately (with the cereal still in
my mouth) that Belly Dancing was going to be a part of my life. It was a
calling that lived inside me and even at that young of age I knew my
life would never be the same thus my belly dance journey began.
Since then I've traveled and studied in Egypt,
performed all across the United States produced theatrical shows,
workshops, taught privately and owned a studio and have been on line
since 2001 offering DVD's, live on line classes , instructional on line
videos. I love writing for my blog, belly dance magazines! I even found
time to write my book which is coming soon.
About Hip PhylosophyHip Phylosophy is about listening to students, understanding
the thought process that goes into learning moves and combinations and then
teaching in a way that connects the dots to help bring out your individual
emotion and dance drama.
Hip Phylosophy continuously changes because the needs of dancers change and
because I change. The best part of belly dance is performing our experiences
from life and creating something positive that gives us joy. Dance is very
personal so Hip Phylosophy is a curriculum that each student can embrace and
make her own.
On Line Video, DVDS, Learn From Home, Free Courses
Belly Dancing has universal appeal. Women from all over the globe are attracted
to Belly Dancing - And why not? Belly Dancing is sensual, self fulfilling,
therapeutic, will make you feel great inside and out, is good for your health
and
… Whether you want to perform or not, the best part of all is accomplishing a
dance form that was created for women by women.
What could be better? Really?
Free Belly Dancing Videos
Help yourself to free beginning
Belly Dance videos, or
free intermediate Belly Dance videos. These are mini courses
automatically delivered to you over a number of days, so the moves and
combinations will make sense to your body and brain with ample time in
between to practice.
There are over 30
different DVDS in the catalog providing instruction on most all aspects
of Belly Dancing for all skill levels. No one individual title is priced
more then $19.95 because every DVD/Video is self produced by my husband
and I. We've been self producing since 2007 from our studio here in
Albuquerque because cutting out the middleman means creative freedom and
lower prices. Imagine what it might cost to have a videographer produce
the close to 30 titles we have now? For example...
We just released a new
6 DVD series called "Hip
Mastery-Hips To Make Your Audience Go Wow!“
If I would have used a videographer, I'd have to charge $150.00 for the
set. The
instruction would be the same!
"PS:
I just finished Hip Mastery 2 and started Hip
Mastery 3. Boy are my
hips tired, but I'm getting more flexibility and
movement than I've had in
many many years, so I think this kind of combo
drilling is a really good
workout for me"....Murwana

the available Belly Dance DVD titles.
 The
problem with buying DVDS is that often you have no idea about what's
inside and if this is true for you, then all of the risk is on your
shoulders. I think this is just wrong. Every DVD currently in the
Hip Phylosophy catalog is available as Pay-Per-View for a fraction of
the price of the DVD so you can fully experience any DVD before you buy
it
Beyond just making on line video a separate item,
each DVD is accompanied by access to the full length on line version.
You get immediate access and when you find yourself someplace where you
can't practice but want to study, you can just log in and watch and
continue to learn.
If
you can't find a teacher, studio, or just prefer to learn from home and
have been looking for a way to take your dancing to another level
without walking out the front door, then the "Learn Belly
Dancing From Home"
is something you will want to hear about.
 Learn
Belly Dancing From Home is the ultimate program for students that
can't find a teacher, studio, or who just prefer to learn from home
because my techno (belly dance husband) has put in place the most
marvelous system based on using live and recorded broadcasting. My
husband likes to refer it to an system of reinforced learning and that
is what it is.
We just concluded 4 week curriculum using live broadcasting combined
with recorded video and DVD and it was a lot of fun. We had dancers from
here in the USA as well as Europe attend.
We (my husband and I) want to make Learn Belly Dancing
From Home at Belly Dance Village something that makes a real
difference in the dance lives of those students that can't find a
teacher, studio, or just prefer to learn from home.
Here are some testimonials from the last set
of "Learn Belly Dance From Home" classes.
The full "Learn Belly Dancing From Home" program
is just about a week away and if you're interested then I recommend that
you subscribe to updates by visiting the "Live
Belly Dance Lessons" page.
 From
Allison: I have been following Leyla and Dan for just a
little over a year and it is very obvious they both care about
not only the instruction students receive but the students
themselves.Leyla is a wonderful person and teacher! I have
purchased many of her DVD’s and I was able to attend her first
live sessions of classes.
I feel very honored and I am thankful that I have crossed
paths with both. Leyla’s instruction is very easy to understand
but also very unique!
Even though I have been dancing for many years she never
stops amazing me with combinations and moves that I have never
done or even seen before with any other dancer! |
Belly
Dancing is a beautiful, sensual art form that touches women from all
corners of the globe on a deep level. This is because Belly Dancing is a
celebration life, living and the spirit. And in the process
of celebrating (practicing and dancing) you get to feel better about
your body, feel better about yourself, experience real health benefits
and if you perform you get applause.
What could be better?
