Oriental Dance

Belly Dance, beloved Belly and beloved Dance

Belly Dance is one of the oldest dances of humanity and its origins are of universal nature. Thousands of years ago women danced for rituals, pregnancy and giving birth, thus celebrating the rhythms of life and its cycles. In the Arabic areas this dance survives from pre-Islamic times, and is now considered a typical feature. Mainly women dance, whether privately in the home or publicly on stage, and traditionally in separate rooms from the men, who also dance in a social context of family festivities. Recently Oriental Dance has won new meaning everywhere in the world as health practitioners and gynecologists, psychologists, orthopedists, and physicians recommend this natural movement for posture and good health. The practice of the dance brings body, mind and spirit back into balance. It allows to feel emotions, improve posture, develop self-esteem, self-confidence, and body-awareness.

The movements of the dance are the total reflection of nature as it flows on and on. There are no rigid movements, but rather a continuous flow of energy centered on and balanced from the navel, our belly button.

Did you know that your neck bends, your shoulders shake, your chest lifts and slides, your ribs circle, your arms make waves, your belly rolls, your spine undulates, your pelvis tilts and twists, your hips sway and swing, your knees rock and your entire body shimmies? And for an example of them all, watch us dance.
