Belly Dance Is Poetry in Motion

1/23/2018

0 Comments

 
Belly dance is a long-enduring art ​form that embodies the rich and diverse cultures and traditions of its native regions. It is mainly characterized by controlled, smooth and fluid isolations of the hips, as well as sharp hip accents and vibration movements that give visual representation to complex Mideastern rhythms and melodies.

Famous for its sensual elegance, belly dance brings out our most feminine qualities in ways that are tactful and classy, while connecting us to music and cultural traditions from the Middle East. Belly dance truly is poetry in motion...

Over recent decades, this dance has taken the world by storm and become somewhat of an underground global dance phenomenon. These days, one can find world-renowned dancers in places ranging from North & Latin America, to Europe's East & West as well as Asia-Pacific in addition to its places of origin and constant innovation in the Middle East and North Africa!

Belly dance appeals to so many people--particularly women--around the world for countless reasons. At SharqiDance, some of our favorite reasons are:
  • The ability to express ourselves beautifully, to beautiful music, while connecting with and learning about other cultures.
  • Its accessibility to people of all skill levels and walks of life. Belly dance is not an easy dance, but with much practice and good instruction a student of any age, body type, gender and with or without prior dance experience can excel at it!
  • Learning how to do amazing things with our bodies, and to appreciate our bodies for what they can do, instead of obsessing over what we look like.
  • Just how amazingly fun it is, and how great we feel when we belly dance!

If you are local to the New Jersey Shore's Ocean County or Monmouth County areas, come join our belly dance classes to find out why this dance is becoming all the rage throughout the world!
