Instructional Combos #2 - Fall 2007

This combination was created for students (likely in fall 2007) to teach new movements to some of my very first groups of students.  It was created under the time I was using Ikiwiki as my dance name.  It was also prior to the standardized format now used with The Bellydance Dictionary.  I’m adding it to the blog for historical purposes and possible reintegration.
