The doesn of dance of belly ‘t implies only the belly in its movement, but the whole body. It is a form of exercise in which any adult, independently of age, kind, weight, agility and knowledge of the stages of dance, can take part. This serves as excellent alternative to the people who normally put ‘t like going to the gymnastics.

Belly dancing is a low impact exercise(the risk of injury is minimal when the dance movements are done correctly). The most distinguishing feature of belly dancing is the isolated motions of the abdomen. These circular, rolling, angular and vibrating movements are all based on natural body movements and it is exactly that makes belly dancing such a safe form of exercise for people of any age.

The flowing movements of hip drops, rolls, pivots that are done during belly dancing use the muscle groups in the abdomen, pelvis, spine and neck. During belly dancing, the joints and ligaments in your lower back and hips are put through a full range of gentle repetitive motions.

Did you know that belly dancing helps during pregnancy?
The movements of the dance mimic the childbirth process and teaching mothers how to move their pelvises. Pregnant mothers also find that belly dancing helps relieve them of back pain and keep their body more limber. While shimmies should be avoided during pregnancy, the figure eights and rolling circular movements are good preparation for childbirth; they assist the normal pelvic relaxing process to prepare for birth and at the same time, helps firm the pelvic muscles for labor and post pregnancy recovery.

A woman’s body also gets into shape faster after a natural birth if the woman has been belly dancing both before and after giving birth, because the emphasis on muscle control helps encourage abdominal tone. Post birth incontinence (inability to control of urine) is also avoided due to strong pelvic floor muscles.
