About the event
Belly dancing is one
of the oldest forms of dance.
Â
Its origins can be traced back to ancient Oriental, Indian and Middle Eastern cultures.
Although many people today think of it
as a seductive dance intended to entertain men, traditionally belly dance was performed
BY WOMEN WOMEN FOR WOMEN
as part of ancient fertility rituals
and goddess worship ceremonies.
​
Those women stayed fit
in their bodies and minds
by celebrating life
through movements and dance.
Â
When a woman belly dances,
every hypnotic movement,every shimmy and graceful undulation
is an expression of STRENGTH and FEMINITY,
celebrating the sensuality, grace, freedom, and beauty of the female body.
