Since the Dawn of Time woman in the Middle East have enjoyed the art of Belly Dance as a way to keep fit and enhance their natuaral sensuality. Now, Belly Dancing communites are cropping up across the U.S. and Europe as more and more women in the West are discovering the dance and its benefits.

Belly Dancing can improve your sex life, your overall health and fitness, and better your chances for an easy childbirth. But most important...Belly Dancing will make you a beautiful, more sensuous, and more confident woman!

Benefits of Belly Dancing include easing childbirth and helping you recover your body after.

The undulations and hip movements are specifically targeted to strengthen the pelvic muscles used in childbirth. Most Belly Dancers report having an easier time in childbirth if they danced during their pregnancy. And after you give birth-there really is no better way to get your body back in shape.

Of course these are the same muscles used during intercourse...you get the idea!

You can burn up to 296 Calories an hour and still be able to walk afterwards.

Most exercise class leave me feeling like I've been hit by a truck afterwards, but Belly Dance movements are based on enhancing the female form-you are working with your body, not against it.

Belly Dance is the only Art Form invented for women by women.

The thing I enjoy most about being a dancer is the time with other dancers. Belly Dancers are real women-of all ages-that are proud of who they are and comfortable in their own skin.

Belly Dancing gives you confidence!

It's always such a treat to see a new dancer come to a class for the first time, shy and insecure about her body, (as we all are) and to see her a few months later, a new confident woman. And there is nothing more beautiful or more sexy than confidence!

As any dancer will confirm -Belly Dancing transforms women into the goddesses God meant them to be.
