The Sacred Art of Oriental Dance –Bellydance
 

Because Bellydance spans so many cultures, its exact origins are hard to pinpoint.  Dating back thousands of years with origins in various parts of the Middle East, this sensual dance is now enjoyed worldwide and offers significant health benefits to many people from all walks of life and all ages and abilities.

Styles of Bellydance hence, vary accordingly.  Styles you will learn may be Egyptian Raqs Sharki, Cabaret, American Tribal Belly dance, Bollywood of India, Bellydance Burlesque, Lebanese Elegance, Spanish Fever GwaahzI gypsy, Asian fan or Turkish Bellydance to name a few.

If you have ever seen a belly dancer you probably were held mesmerized by her hypnotic moves.

Perhaps she danced with a veil and cymbals.

Bellydance is a fun and creative dance form involving isolations of various parts of the body, especially the pelvis and hips.  The use of traditional movements, such as shimmy, hip drops, Figure 8’s, circles and undulations with graceful arms aids overall flexibility, coordination, body strength and stamina.

So much more than just a novel way to exercise. !!!

 Beware,  you may become addicted to the passion of the dance, the heady  music, the colourful flowing costumes and feeling this good!
