Belly and World Dance
Course introduction
Belly dance, also known as Middle Eastern Dance, is a way to improve fitness and mobility, muscle memory, posture, balance and coordination, as well as core and muscle strength. This is belly dancing without revealing your belly, while feeling the joy and freedom of natural movement. You will also explore many other cultures from places such as Cyprus, Africa, India, Eastern Europe and the Orient, to name a few – all while having fun and moving your body to music. It is designed to be a healthy tonic for the mind, body and soul – the perfect warm up to your day. There will be no floor work, and no previous dance experience is required.
Course information
Wear clothing that supports ease of movement. Flat shoes or bare feet are appropriate. If you have a hip scarf that jingles, please bring it to wear. Always bring water to drink to remain hydrated. As with all exercise, if you have any health issues or concerns, please check with your GP or other clinician before attending the class.
