Belly dancing is known throughout the world as Danse Orientale,
or Oriental Dance. This beautiful form of expression draws
elements and styles from many different cultures. In the United
States, inspiration from such countries as Turkey, Egypt,
Morocco and Spain flows through the dance.
As you
explore this most ancient of dance forms, you’ll find the dance
is a positive statement about the beauty, strength and grace of
all that is feminine. Performed among friends, the spirit of
the dance encourages a sense of camaraderie that’s so hard to
find in these modern times.
The natural
movements of the dance gently work the muscles while massaging
away your tension. Some of the more dynamic movements, like
shimmies, energize you while releasing stress and creating a
sense of balance through mind, body and spirit.
