True
belly dancing tells a story or conveys a particular emotion. It takes many forms. There's folkloric dancing, cabaret-style,
Turkish, Egyptian, Lebanese, and others each unique in its own right.
It is not, as some think, akin in any way to stripping.
In fact, Middle Eastern dances are supposed to be family oriented. They began, when women danced for each other in social
situations just as we in this culture sometimes get up and dance at parties.
A belly dancer speaks to the audience through
her movements. There is a great deal of gesturing with the upper body and chest.
Belly dancing is a good workout
as well. The movements work the entire body stretching and contracting the muscles around the abs, back and hips, and increasing
core strength.
Take a look at this web site featuring everything
to do with all forms of dance and with dance as an educational and health benefit. www.dance-in-our-footsteps.com Go to www.okbari.org to hear a sampling of Middle Eastern music by Okbari.
