Belly Dancing Classes  

Belly Dancing Classes promote a positive body image in a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere.  This is a great program for women of all ages, shapes and sizes.

Belly Dancing Workouts for Cardio Fitness:

This Belly Dance Class is also considered a workout because with the correct approach, belly dance incorporates both cardiovascular and aerobic exercise. Belly dancing classes offer a unique, and fun, way to get in shape. In order to treat belly dancing as a cardio workout, the belly dancing lessons are designed with movements and routines that have selections of the ideal music and duration, performed with arms and hands up above your heart level – enough to get your heart rate up, put a smile on your face, and a wiggle in your hips.

Belly Dancing Classes for Weight Loss:   

Belly Dancing Classes are group exercise classes where the more you put into it – the more you will get out of it. The more you move, the more calories you will burn. The more you dance, the more exercise you will get and as with any physical activity – the weight loss benefits are endless. Dancing, in general, can burn a similar amount of calories as would riding a bicycle, swimming, or walking. By increasing your frequency of belly dancing workouts and your exertion level, as well increasing your length of participation time in belly dancing classes – the greater your weight loss opportunities will be.
