Belly Dance

You might think belly dancing is all about the belly, but it is actually more of the hips working to make the belly looks good. When you are in a belly dance class, you will discover muscles that you didn’t know existed and learn to use them in new and unusual ways. Belly dancing creates self-confidence in an art form that embraces all body types and ages. No matter what your age, shape or size – belly dancing is for you.

If you watch a belly dancer performed, you have probably been mesmerized by their sensual and hypnotic movements. Belly dance is one of the great iconic cultural traditions from the Middle East. It is perhaps the oldest form of dance with origins that can be traced back to ancient times. Belly dance is an expression of feminine beauty.

If you are looking for a way to break out from your fitness routine such as yoga, belly dancing is a hip new way of staying fit. Belly dancing is a total workout for the body, mind and spirit. Belly dancing tones muscle while accentuating curves and promotes a positive mental attitude about your body. Women who belly dance feel more confident and at ease with their figures.

If you are looking for a sensual, exotic, and fun way to release your inhibitions and move your body, then look no further. Commence your dance journey with us and rediscover the sensual flow and movement of your own body in our belly dance class.
