Belly
Dancing - A Beautiful Art Form!
The
world of belly dance is mysterious, alluring, and exciting! The
movements can be graceful and smooth, fast and sharp, mysterious and
alluring. The dancer's goal is to visually communicate to the
audience the emotion and rhythm of the dance. Years of training via
professional instruction and workshops are necessary to truly
perfect this historical dance. The
jubilant nature of this dance is fuelled by spontaneity, passion,
and a sense of fun!
Belly
dance is otherwise known as “raqs sharki” or “oriental
dance”. It’s core moves also incorporate the spirit of
nature; water, earth, air, and fire. There
is truly nothing like it!

is appropriate at birthday parties, anniversaries, bridal and baby
showers, wedding receptions, corporate events, graduations, and many
more events.
