Belly dancing is part of my culture,of my life. It's based on one of the oldest social dances in world history, originating in  Asia Minor and the Middle East.  It has a 5.000 years history, since ancient times.

 We can find dancers on the ancient Greek pottery, who dance with props (finger cymbals and veils), starting a tradition which was enriched with moves and techniques mostly during Byzantine Empire in Asia Minor.

Actually Belly dancing is both a beautiful form of dance and a great way to exercise. If you see bellydancers in action, you'll be willing to immitate them, b/c this Dance is an amazing way to express our feminine side and also to stay in shape. Plus it's the Rhythms of the Middle eastern music so exciting, that make us stand up and start shimmying and moving the "fertility area"- our hips!

The only thing we have to do is to give it a try. It will improve our confidence and creativity. We'll gain incredible Flexibility of the torso through  'snake' moves, isolations and undulations, belly-rolls and chest rotations. Especially we'll increase Elegance and Grace. No wonder why we can walk and dance so gracefully barefooted. The western women need heels to feel and look elegant, but Middle eastern ones don't need them.

A better Posture will be the result of the traveling steps and the several feminine walking steps. Most of all, this is a great exercise and a graceful form of Art.
