Belly Dancing
Belly dance has many health benefits....
- Muscles in the abdominals, arms, upper and lower back, hips and thighs improve in tone and strength
- Balance, posture, coordination, and circulation improve
- The fluid nature of the dance helps to relax and lubricate joints
- Belly dancing is a weight bearing exercise good for maintaining healthy strong bones
- Lively, continuous belly dancing is a form of low impact aerobic exercise that, practiced regularly and in sessions of 20 minutes or more, can aid in weight loss, stress reduction, and management of high blood pressure
- Exercising the abdominal area, by rolling the belly or swaying the torso, helps food move along the digestive system
Other positive aspects of belly dance:
- Suitable for all ages, body types, and abilities
- Wonderful for social connection with like- minded individuals
- Provides an outlet for creativity
- Gentler forms of belly dance are useful for pre-natal exercise, strengthening pelvic muscles and relaxing the mother to be
- As with yoga (a companion for belly dance) focus on the breath while moving helps to ground and center the dancer, aiding in a relaxed sense of well being
- Belly dance celebrates and honours femininity.
- Belly dance provides a safe environment for expressing sensuality in a gentle yet powerful way. Body acceptance, awareness and confidence naturally evolve with this empowering art form.
Belly dance is fun! A taste of exotic culture, camaraderie and sparkly accessories await!
