What does "Habibi Alli" mean in Arabic? Where can I find an English translation to this song by Miami?it is a name
Yep, habibi is "beloved", and Ali is probably the guy's name. In terms of tips:
- don't be afraid to keep it simple. A lot of inexperienced performers just throw in all the moves they know, but that just looks messy. A good place to start is the rule of four. Pick one movement (or a set of movements) and do it four times. Then do it four times on the other side. Or do it three times and do something different for the fourth count. Or do the movement twice, something different the third time, and return the first movement on the fourth count. By this time, you've probably used a whole minute!
- don't start too early. It takes a good 30-60 seconds for your audience to get used to seeing you, so there's no point in doing anything complicated in that time. Just walk proudly around the stage once or twice while you greet your audience. Walk in time with the music, or do some simple travelling hipwork (step-hit-step-hit, or walking with hip hits, etc.). I have a mini-article on this on my website:

- try to use your space. Don't spend the entire song facing forward while standing in the same spot. You can:
- move around the stage (how much you move depends on which style you study)
- change your orientation (facing front, back, side, or 3/4)
- change your level (go up on your toes, bend your knees, etc. Level changes take a little practice.)
- remember that you can use your arms, ribcage, shoulders, and head too. Hipwork is the "meat" of oriental dance, but other parts of your body make it more interesting, and can be helpful if your hips get tired.
- find two or three "safety moves" that you're really comfortable with. That way, if you forget your choreography, or blank out while improvising, you can default to those movements while you recover. My safety moves are shimmies, lower-body undulations, triple hip bumps (right-left-right, left-right-left) and spins.
- try some fun things with your arms. I like to have one hand behind my head (or at my eyebrow) and the other arm at my hip or extended out to the side.
- have fun! If you are clearly having a good time, people will enjoy watching you, no matter what you're doing and how well. If you love your music, that's a good first step. :) You might want to try talking to your audience in your head while you dance. I tend to think things like "aren't I cute?" "I'm so glad you came to see me!" "can you believe my hip is doing this?" "you are so lucky to be in my presence". It sounds wierd, but it works!
Have a great time!

habibi; my love, my beloved
Alli; a name or in connection with habibi, something like 'come closer my love/beloved'.
If you want world music that you can dance to, try Arabic Grooves, the sound of the souks or Arabian Mixes (both albums feature classical, traditional and modern mixes from regions around north africa and the middle east).
If you want to expand your dancing reportoire, try some belly dancing will also help you to isolate certain moves, relate them to specific parts of the body, connect you will music that will move your soul and improve your kinetic memory (most important aspect for any aspiring dancer!). Good Luck!!
