Sensual Belly Dancing

​Belly dancing is a sensual dance because we use all six senses to experience the essence of its musical rhythms. The music encourages the body to respond using our senses to follow the sounds from the different instruments and rhythm patterns.

Our hip, shoulders and belly areas can shake, roll, and quiver. These movements respond to drum beats. The drum beats invite the physical body to respond and mark the beats in unison. It relieves any minor aches or pains by warming and stretching muscles to release aches and pains, and  tension while renewing and charging the body with energy.

The wind and string instruments invite the body to move with slow and deliberate hand, arm, abdominal, chest, and hip movements. The dancer is exercising her body performing slow motion stretches while interpreting the message or story of the musical piece.

The musicians tell their story with sound and the dancer illustrates the story with movements.

Designing and participating in choreography is a lot of fun. Performing a precision movement fills each dancer with pride and accomplishment of some difficult movements.
