 About Belly Dancing
The benefits of belly dance are both mental and physical.
There are a lot of misconceptions about belly dancing, the western culture has turned it into a dance to please men. It is in fact a dance to celebrate being a woman and everything that comes with it.
 Dancing provides a good cardio-vascular workout and helps increase both flexibility and strength, focusing on the torso or "core muscles", although it also builds leg strength.
Many belly dance styles emphasize muscular "isolations", teaching the ability to move various muscles or muscle groups independently.
Belly dance is suitable for all ages and body types, and can be as physical as the participant chooses. The art form tones the arms, strengthens and tightens the abs and obliques, and improves flexibility. As a form of exercise, it can burn as many calories as light jogging, swimming or riding a bike.
Belly dance is considered a non-impact, weight-bearing exercise, which is especially good for women, since it can reduce the risk of osteoporosis. There is minimal stress on knees and feet. Depending on the rhythms of the music and the repetitive body movements, participants can increase breathing and raise their heartbeat, which can assist in building cardiovascular strength.
Apart from the physical benefits such as relief from back pain, muscle strengthening, cardio fitness, improved flexibility and co-ordination, belly dancing can also open up a hidden side of you!
You will discover a creative, playful, confident, and vibrant inner goddess! So if you have ever had an urge to try belly dancing but thought "I'm too old, too young, too round, too narrow, too lumpy, not lumpy enough" I'm here to tell you that no matter what age, size or shape you are, as long as you are a female then we welcome you with open arms and minds.
