The Art of Belly Dance

Here’s a taste of the exotic movement of belly dancing. My teacher (I’m in Belly Dance 101 - for people who are so green to moving their bodies this way we’re practically organic-certified) said this ancient dance was not only a form of seduction, but also a way to help prepare a woman’s body for giving birth. Check out the dancer’s movements. These are called isolated movements and work your muscles one by one, so you have better control of your body as a whole. Now ladies: isolated muscle exercise that tones your core, hot moves AND help with the pains of labor?
