In belly dancing, the chest and waist are important parts that show the dancer's spirit, and the basic movements of the chest such as horizontal movement, twisting, and drawing circles in belly dancing require the chest and waist to be fully prepared.

>01 Stretch your arms and relax your chest: This movement is very similar to stretching. Clasp your hands together, turn your palms over and lift them upward to one side, thereby stretching the chest and waist on the other side. Pay attention to keeping your elbows as straight as possible and stretching them behind your ears. Alternate between the left and right sides.

>02 Lift chest diagonally: Hold the right hand with the left hand behind the head, and pull it to the lower left, causing the side chest and waist to tilt to the lower left. Pay attention to pulling the left elbow down to the limit, so that the left side of the chest and waist feels squeezed, and the right side of the chest and waist is stretched. Alternate between the left and right sides.

>03 Expand your chest forward: Stand naturally, clasp your hands behind your back, and pull them backward and upward; at the same time, push and expand your chest forward. Be careful to keep your shoulders down.

>04 Pull your chest back: Stand naturally, clasp your hands in front of you, turn your palms over and push them forward. At the same time, pull your chest inward and push it backward with force, so that the upper back forms a backward arc and the entire upper back expands.

>05 Pull the chest horizontally: Stand naturally with your arms open and even. The right arm seems to be pulled and extended far away, driving the chest to move horizontally to the right, but be careful to keep the hips still. Alternate between the left and right sides.
