This is one of the
oldest dance forms,
(an artform really) still practiced
and performed around the world today.
Community celebrations, birthing practices, alternative excercise for the mind, body and soul are just a few of the reasons why women love belly dance.
Belly dancers love audience participation, so clap, make some noise and yell "opa" (oh-pa), a word that means joy, celebrate, wonderful and just good feelings.
Transport yourself to the Middle East, feel the sand, the sun and the wind blowing the palm trees.
Connect your soul through ancient rhythms and movements. Let belly dance transform you to this ancient place.

WHAT IS BELLY DANCE?
-
Belly Dance is a dance for women, created by women. It is the celebration of life and passed on from generation to generation. This dance was used as entertainment for women in seclusion.
-
To entertain each other, the women would gather and dance for one another while there husbands where off working. This form of entertainment wasn't introduced into the public until later on.
-
This isn't the dance that Hollywood has made it out to be. This is a very respectful dance form. This truly lets the GODDESS come out in each and every woman!
