The ancient art form and dance practice of Raqs Sharqi, or Oriental Dance, commonly known in the West as “Belly Dance”, is a powerful tool for today’s woman to get back in touch with a more feminine, sensual, graceful and joyful part, to feel good about themselves and their bodies. Following the natural alignment of the body, rather than going against it, this dance has no restrictions of height, weight, body idea of beauty, type or age. Every woman and man can belly dance and can be graceful and look beautiful doing it. It’s a dance that encourages coordination, rhythm and self-esteem, core strengths, helps building confidence, vitality and beauty and so much more.
