Awareness
Bellydance improves muscle control,
spacial perception, self-control,
attention to detail, awareness of self
and other, breathing, timing, and
being in the moment.
Acceptance
Bellydance students learn not only
what their abilities are but also ways
to improve those abilities. Everyone
has a quality that can be expressed
in this beautiful social dance.
Bellydance empowers dancers to
embrace their uniqueness and it
express it through movement.
Appreciation
Bellydance promotes appreciation of
your own gifts and attributes as well
as those of others. We all have
something to offer and the evolving
art form of bellydance, especially in
the west, allows dancers flexibility to
demonstrate their talents,
personality, and interpretation of the
technique and music.
The art of dancing
stands at the source of
all the arts that express
themselves first in the
human person. The art
of building, or
architecture, is the
beginning of all the arts
that lie outside the
person; and in the end
they unite.... Dancing is
the loftiest, the most
moving, the most
beautiful of the arts,
because it is no more
translation or
abstraction from life; it
is life itself.
---Havelock Ellis, *The
Dance of Life*
