Starting with the feet, feel your weight even distributed between your heels, the outside front edge of the foot, and the ball of the foot. These three points make a stable "tripod" to help you keep balanced.
Your knees should be soft and slightly bent. Don't lock them!
You need to engage your lower abdominal muscles to pull your bottom underneath your back and tilt your pelvis a little forward. We want to keep the lower back nice and flat.
Lift your chest so that there is a lot of space between your ribs and your hips. This is where the bellydancing will happen!
Keep your shoulders back. I find it helpful to roll them up and over and drop them back so the shoulder blades feel like they are sitting "deep" in my back.
Last but not least, keep your chin up and smile!
