The 5000 year old, ancient art of bellydance is spreading like wildfire across the world. Women everywhere are learning bellydance and it is positively changing the way they think about their bodies, while also bringing back grace and the femine mystique that is inherent in the dance.
Bellydance originates in the Middle East and North Africa as a folk dance, or a dance that all people grow up learning and dancing. As in any art form, U.S. dancers have brought their own stylizations to the dance - and some of these stylizations have also gone back to influence performers in North Africa and the Middle East. Other of these stylizations uniquely stay in the U.S.
All ages, ethnicities, and body types are welcome! There is no such thing as too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short... its about accepting the beauty that is you and embracing the dance that embraces you.
