Bored of the gym?
Want to
make new friends and have fun?
Why not learn the exotic art of Egyptian
Bellydance?
With its origins in the Middle East, Bellydance also known
as ‘Raqs Sharqi’ and ‘Danse Orientale,’ is an ancient and beautiful art
form which celebrates the female physique and is helping to empower women
across the globe.
The mesmerising movements and muscle isolations unique
to bellydance, not to mention the elaborate costumes, are now captivating
audiences throughout the Western world.
Bellydance has numerous
health benefits. It provides an enjoyable cardio-vascular workout and
helps to increase coordination, flexibility and strength. In addition,
the focus on training the core muscles to work independently helps to
tone the upper and lower body.
As well as the physical benefits, bellydance
improves self-esteem and builds confidence, embracing all ages, shapes
and sizes. It can help to combat negative body-image and challenges the
‘quest for size zero’ so prevalent in today’s celebrity-obsessed culture.
