Belly dance is more than just exercise for your body. It increases grace, strength, flexibility, balance, and burns calories. But even more importantly, it is a way to nourish and develop your whole self, connecting you to your body, your emotions, and your feeling of confidence and personal power.

Belly dance inherently starts at the deep inner core of your body. It naturally activates and strengthens pelvic and torso muscles (commonly called core muscles), as well as building overall strength, grace, and balance.

Experience the sensuous, flowing side of belly dance in this Alchemical Belly Dance Series as you:

• activate your energy centers
• create sacred geometry with your body
• direct chi (life force energy) throughout your body for a more embodied experience
• connect with your divine feminine nature

This class is recommended for advanced beginners, as well as dancers of any level who wish to deepen their dance through energy practices.

Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in, and ideally bring a fringed or coin scarf or shawl to tie on your hips so you can see and/or hear your hip movements. No scarf? No problem! Just come as you are. Bare bellies are welcome, but not required!

I invite you to experience the healing power of Alchemical Belly Dance!
