about Bellydance

Bellydance is an umbrella term for many Middle Eastern dance styles that include beautifully fluid undulations and clever isolations that look good on any body shape. It can be good for toning the arms and the waistline but its also great fun! It celebrates the feminine form and can promote good posture, confidence, flexibility and it's also a good way to socialise. This ancient art form can become addictive and there are many events in the area which are great for both the beginner and the improver.

Anything comfortable that allows ease of movement such as jogging bottoms and a t shirt. I can provide you with a hip scarf to borrow but it might be worth bringing something to tie around your hips in case there is a high demand for these. We dance with bare feet but if you would prefer to wear something on your feet I would suggest ballet shoes or some other soft shoe. Bring some water too.

BellyTricks classes are very welcoming and friendly to newcomers and there is no pressure to perform if you don't feel comfortable. Baring your belly is not compulsory and men are also very welcome to join us.
