About Belly Dance
Belly Dance is a rich ancient family of dance traditions from the Middle East and North Africa, characterized by fluid torso isolations, expressive hip articulations, intricate arm and hand movements, shimmies, and a deep musical connection to Arab, Turkish, and North African rhythmic traditions. With roots in cultural celebrations, spiritual practices, and the social life of communities across Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, and Morocco, Belly Dance celebrates the natural expressiveness of the human body in ways found in few other dance traditions. Regional styles vary significantly — Egyptian Raqs Sharqi is grounded with sophisticated musical interpretation while Turkish Oriental style is more energetic and improvisational, and Tribal and Fusion styles offer modern interpretations. Belly Dance is widely celebrated for its profound body inclusivity and the remarkable confidence it develops in practitioners of all sizes and backgrounds. Classes are available for adults of all backgrounds and body types with absolutely no prior dance experience required. Find Belly Dance classes near you.
