GODDESSDANCE CREATIVE & TRADITIONAL WORLD FUSION
"BELLY
DANCE" is a general term for an ancient, diverse group
of women's dances with a myriad of influences from India, North
Africa, the Near and Middle East and the West. It is also known as Oriental Dance,
perhaps more correctly, because it originated in the East.
There are many cultural and musical influences that contribute to our contemporary collection
of movements under the general umbrella of Belly Dance. Traditional folk dances, influences of other dance forms and
resulting fusion styles are all " belly dance," characterized by isolations, undulations and pronounced hip movements.
Goddessdance
Bellydance develops self awareness and expression through movement by
connecting heart, head and soul. It draws on archetypal movements that originate in ancient traditions
and shared experiences of femininity, accentuating the creativity,
power and grace of the feminine form, bringing out the goddess within!
