~ AMERICAN BELLY DANCE ~

Belly dance started out as a dance performed by women for women on occasions as diverse as parties and childbirth, and it remains a personal expression of delight, energy and joy.

Belly dance practice starts with an upright torso, an open chest, aligned pelvis, soft knees (and an open heart!). Proper dance posture allows a belly dancer to move powerfully, even as a beginner, to layer movements one on top of another, and to express emotion in the way most appropriate for her. Undulatory movements move energy freely from one part of her body to another; traveling steps bring energy up from the earth into her body; layering movements transform the dancer into a dancing galaxy.
