The Intriguing and Mysterious Belly Dance
Belly dancing is an ancient art form, practiced in many Asian and eastern European countries. Women of ancient times used the dance to make childbirth easier and to recover more quickly after it. Belly dancing is a beautiful way to celebrate your growing body and prepare for the physical challenges of childbirth both before the birth and after. This renowned dance is a healthy physical workout that suits women at all stages of their life. Furthermore, by dancing barefoot, the belly dancer connects with the Great Mother Goddess, with the Earth, and with nature. The moves exhibited can be pure sensuousness and enticing, they have enchanted people since ancient times. Yet, beyond the erotic aspects it offers many physical and emotional benefits such as cardiovascular conditioning, health and mental relaxation.
Originating in Turkey it involves dancing in traditional Middle-Eastern style using two-piece outfits and props such as scarves, finger cymbals and bells. The costumes and moves that pertain to each country vary widely and reflect the local cultures tastes. Belly dancing is not only about the movements, but about mastering these movements in conjunction with the music, while combing them together to present an art form that is delivered in an enjoyable, creative manner.
It can introduce you to creative, social and cultural avenues, and is known for enhancing and encouraging physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual growth. As a living art it is handed down and taught from someone who knows and appreciates this art form.
Belly dancing is a lot of fun and is one of the few forms of entertainment where the performer can augment and adapt her performance according to the mood of the audience. When entertaining in a variety of venues such as restaurants, clubs and stage, the dancer can heighten her presentations to a level reflecting the mood of the audience.
If you are looking for a more physically and mentally healthy life then consider this beautiful form of expression. It is probably more popular today than ever, or at least more accessible to the masses. Classes are offered all over the US, as well as other parts of the world.
