Using the same basic position of Indian hands, place your pointer finger in the middle of your forehead with your palm up. It doesn't necessarily imply you have a headache that's just a cute name.Simply point where you want to draw attention. For example your doing a 4/4 hip shimmy, raise your arms gracefully above your head then drop the hands downward and point then slowly lower your arms while still pointing till your finger is just hovering above the hips. this draws the focus down into the movement adding emphasis and making the movement more dramatic. You can also point for emphasisin a song. For example in 'Ya nour el ein' by Amro Diab you can point tothe eyes to emphasize the chorus of "habibi ya nour el ein" or "my darling you are the light of my eyes." Many people do not recommend pointing ataudience members but it can be a cute way to make the audience feel part of the show to point at someone when a song says habibi.Place the backs of your hands together so that your palms are facing outnow keeping hands facing the same directions place palms together. Thenraise arms over head. You can keep the backs of the hands together or youcan separate them a little to give it a more crossed arm look. See the video for "Temple Arms" it shows the latter variation.Place palms together and raise arms over head. It is common to see dancers bring their palms together as if they were praying at the hip orwaist level and then to raise the arms slowly in front of the body until theyare overhead. This gives a dramatic effect. It's often used when a dancerwants to show spirituality and is frequently used in pharonic and goddessdances. See the video for "The Turkish Move" to see this.This is a pose you do when you want to emphasize how much you love something. You can accomplish it simply by cupping your hand under yourleft breast. You can use either hand but usually it's done with the right handreaching across the body.Touch the tips of your middle fingers together and then touch the tips of your thumbs together. Your hands should now resemble the outline of a pyramid or triangle. Now, raise your arms over your head.Place left arm out in front of you creating a horizontal line in front of your chest and curve your right arm over your head. This is often used in conjunction with basic Egyptian alternating which arm is in front. It is also a very common position of the arms for Egyptian Saidi style bellydance. See the video for "Saidi Arms" to see this demonstrated. Othervariations are to Place the lower arm out to the side instead of out in front.The side variation is especially common if your moving to the side in whichit sort of points your way. The arm can also alternate between these twopositions which works well when doing forward backward alternations or forward sideways alternations.This is a pose you do when you want to emphasize how much something touches your soul or moves you in a spiritualway. You can accomplish it simply by cupping your hand over your lower abdomen (generally closer to your side asopposed to the center).Clasp your right elbow in the palm of tour left hand and keep the right arm in a fairly straight vertical line. Keep theleft arm in a fairly horizontal line. You can also point your finger back and actually touch your forehead like the Lebanese headache which works especially well when doing movementslike a hip push to the back and looking back towards the movement.Place the palms together. Now twist the hands so that you can tuck onethumb under the other hand. The fingers should line up with each other still(i.e. pinky to pinky, ring to ring, middle to middle). Clasp the other thumb down on the knuckles to put pressure on the pointer and then attempt to snap the two pointer fingers. When done correctly this produces a veryloud snap which sounds almost like a pop. This is very common in Persian and Iranian dances. It takes a lot of practice to get just right and you mayneed to work on strengthening your fingers and increasing their flexibilityto do this properly. don't get frustrated if it doesn't come quickly.
