Join the global celebration of World Belly Dance Day - get your hips shaking with fun workshops and exciting performances!
Let's get ready to celebrate World Belly Dance Day on May 13th! This day is a celebration of the beautiful art form of belly dancing, which has been around for thousands of years. It originated in Middle Eastern countries as a way to celebrate special occasions and bring people together. Not only is it an amazing form of self-expression, but it also helps with coordination, balance and even posture. So grab your hip scarf and let's get ready to dance!
Take a class or rent a DVD to learn the basics of belly dancing. There are many styles of belly dance from the traditional Middle Eastern to the more modern Tribal Fusion, so you’re sure to find something that appeals to you.
Look for workshops in your area, or even online. Workshops are a wonderful way to get an introduction to belly dance and learn some new moves. You can also make some new friends while you’re at it!
Check out your local performing arts center for performances of belly dancing. You could also search online for upcoming performances in your area. Watching an experienced dancer can be a great way to appreciate the art form.
Get into the spirit of World Belly Dance Day by dressing up in costume! Traditional costumes involve colorful skirts, sequined tops, and accessories like coins, veils, and jewelry.
Gather some friends, put on some music, and practice your moves together! You can even turn it into a themed party with decorations and food inspired by belly dance culture.
Belly dancing is a powerful form of self-expression that encourages body positive attitudes and celebrates the femininity of all its participants.
