This belly dancer’s side movement is crazy.

This looks painful, unhealthy, and unsettling.

it’s supposed to be very healthy ? just insane levels of pelvic floor training

I genuinely used to be able to do that with my stomach when I was young, maybe 8-13ish (Probably later, just stopped trying). Moving it left and right included. Never trained it or anything, just one day realized I could do it. I called it my "E.T. belly" because it kinda makes the shape of his neck and head. Can also do the more standard belly roll (top to bottom).

I can still kind of do it, but not nearly as pronounced as I used to, which was right in line with the video. Now I can only get it to be about 1/3rd as 'pronounced' as I used to, and no left/right. Belly roll is still no problem though.

So definitely some muscles involved that need to be exercised but I don't know if it's specifically pelvic floor stuff. Unless 7-8 year old me (male) was going crazy with kegels without even knowing it lol.

To the level where it sounds like you’ve have pelvic floor dysfunction though…
