The Oriental Dance
The oriental dance, better known as belly dance has a long tradition
and is originally an expression of folk feeling. It is a fascinating and
very feminine dance. The oriental dance is a from of movement where you
learn to control the different parts of your body separately, to come to
a harmonious dance. The centre of this dance form are the hips and basin
part of the body. It is a free expression dance, where everybody can express
his own personality and character. In the lessons your attention will be
drawn to technique, musical interpretation, expression and pleasure in
the dance. There will be danced in different styles: Egyptian, Lebanese
and
Turkish. Any individual, regardless age or body shape can follow
the lessons.
