What is bellydance?

Bellydance is a broad term
for a style of dance that
originated in the Middle
East and Arabic-influenced
parts of Africa.  It is also
known as raks sharqi which
translates into "Dance of
the East."  Bellydance
includes use of the torso
and hips, as well as the
belly.  Today there is a
wealth of information on
the Internet, so I
encourage you to discover
BELLYDANCE!
**Mission Statement**


Bellydance has enhanced my life not only physically, but also emotionally and
socially.  I wish to pass that on to other women by:

Creating a friendly, supportive, non-critical, and non-competitive learning
environment where women feel respected and free to explore and discover
their own expressive style.

Combining the diligent study of bellydance technique with enthusiasm and
excitement and being conscientious in practice so we can dance with
abandon.

Promoting and preserving the art of bellydance by showing respect for the
cultural history and nuances of the dance and by presenting ourselves wisely
when in performance with careful consideration of  venue and environment.

Continuing to educate myself and be open to new ideas and information so as
to educate my students; I believe that the best teacher recognizes they are
always a student.
