Watch Ciftetelli - Belly dance drum solo rhythms combinations and practice with Neon

Star Bellydancer online classes: "Because ciftetelli is perceived as a slow belly dance rhythm, very often the melody is improvisation played on oud, violin, ney (arabic flute) or keyboard, - any melodic instrument. So as dancers we can't think only in terms of accents in the rhythm - our movement should switch between catching the accents and following the melody."
