Belly dance, or raks sharqi, is an ancient form of dance associated with the Middle East. Raks sharqi means “dance of the east” in Arabic. This dance is proud and powerful with elegant and isolating movements emanating from the core. It’s the Pilates of dance. And so much fun! Please wear comfortable clothing, similar to what you might wear to a yoga class, that will allow for free movement and the ability to see your movement. Hip scarves make it even more fun. You can dance barefoot or in a pair of comfortable dance shoes.
