Belly Dance

Belly Dance: More recently, Belly Dance has been praised for its countless health benefits. In the West, people have been using it for the purposes of healing (physical as well as emotional), meditation, weight loss, stress relief and to improve muscle tone, endurance, balance, flexibility, body awareness, and coordination.

Although so many women start studying it because of its health benefits, they eventually find that Belly Dance allows them to express their femininity and rediscover their body's natural movement, while having fun, looking beautiful, and feeling good.

Is it a dance of seduction, or a joyous family activity? A great explanation of the "Centeredness" or the "inner dance" which is the distinct quality of this art form. Most of the belly dancing in the world is NOT done on stage by costumed professionals but by "regular" people at various social gatherings, such as parties, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions!
