    About Belly Dance

    Belly Dance is a unique way of exercising. It uses ALL the muscles in the natural movement of the body, while promoting creativity through expressive dance. It improves posture and muscle tone, promotes weight loss, reduces stress, instills a sense of feminine power, and is a heck of a lot of fun!

    Belly dance is the oldest known, surviving dance form, estimated at over 3,000 years old. In ancient Middle East and Mediterranean cultures, it was not performed as entertainment. It was primarily a birthing preparation and ceremony; women would hone their muscles to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth. At the time of delivery, the feminine community would gather and dance to assist and celebrate the birth.

    Belly dance was introduced to "the western world" at the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1893. The dancer, who's history is increasing in popularity with the recent popularity of this art form, was known as "Little Egypt."
