| Belly dancing is a wonderful, fun way to stay in shape and celebrate the human form in all shapes and sizes. This ancient art form is performed to celebrate life, beauty, and creativity. Music is an integral part of the dance. Originally the dance evolved as a method of preparing for childbirth, “or from the belly, the source of life,” but today it is highly regarded as a fun way to keep fit. The dance is characterized by isolated movements and control the individual parts of the body; arms, hands, etc. and focuses on unusual strength and control in the belly area. Please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing to the first class that will not restrict your movement. |
