Private dance classes

Service Description

Long before belly dance was a performance art, women belly danced in sacred ceremonies and celebrations. This class teaches the ancient art as it was originally intended, for well-being of body, mind, Spirit and tribe. Belly dance is a powerful technique for self-healing. The movements stimulate the life force energy, causing it to circulate around the body to cleanse physical ailments as well as emotional wounds. Through the deep awareness that the dance brings us, we can learn to hear our bodies’ wisdom and direct the life force energy to heal ourselves of specific past traumas. The dance is a thorough workout for our entire body, tremendously strengthening to our core muscles, enhancing our balance, grace and flexibility. Because the dance can be done as gently or vigorously as desired, the movements are wonderful for any age or physical capacity. This class will focus on polishing the unique body isolation technique that belly dancing uses. We will work with the many different Middle Eastern rhythms, learning to improvise to the music. We will also centre ourselves deeply in belly dance as a sacred art, allowing us to experience ourselves as whole, unified beings. We can practice the art of being human – how being firmly grounded in our physical bodies allows us to more fully open up to Source energy. Belly dance teaches us to be moving bridges between these worlds of earth and Spirit, and therefore live to our highest potential. We also dance with powerful Yoni awakening and strengthening exercises. The atmosphere of the class is joyful, connected, fun, focused and empowering.
