Shake your hips like Shakira
Belly dancing has been celebrated for centuries by royalty, writers, poets, artists and musicians.
It is a celebration, a rapport between dancer and audience, an enchantment of vibrant colour, femininity and seductive fabric. The movements are simple but capture the joy of life as a woman, allowing each dancer to uniquely express her own magnificence.
A belly dance exercises a lot of muscles including some that you forget to exercise. Therefore, you should warm up with a little exercising before you start dancing. You can try doing some head rolls as you try to loosen up other parts of the body as well.
