Belly dance is one of the oldest forms of dance. Rooted in many ancient cultures it caters to everyone regardless of experience – which explains why it is such a popular dance worldwide.
The dance focuses on isolating different parts of the body and moving them independently in sensuous patterns and routines. This helps develop flexibility, strengthen abdominal muscles and build upper body strength.
