Bellydancing
Many people believe that belly dancing is the oldest form of dance, having roots in all ancient cultures from the Orient to India and the Middle East. The Arabic name for belly dancing is raqs sharqi, however to us in the western world it is known as belly dancing or oriental dance.
The dance often focuses upon isolating different parts of the body, moving them independently in sensuous patterns, weaving together the entire feminine form. Women from all over the world are choosing to try bely dancing for it’s sensuality, feminine energy and focus on positive body image.
