Belly Dance Classes

Our spinal column contains more bones and ligaments than any other part of the body. It's 33 vertebrae and stacked together in a column joined together by cartilage and ligaments, and almost every movement of the torso depends upon its flexibility and function. Muscle groups that attach to the ligaments and vertebra create movement in the trunk and pelvis area.

Improves posture and muscle toning:
During the dance, the movements of hip drops, circles, figure eights and shimmies put the joints and ligaments in the lower back and hips through a full range of gentle, repetitive motion. This movement helps increase the flow of the synovial fluid (nature's lubricant) in these jonts.When movements are done properly, the pelvis is tipped forward to somewhat neutral position, which can help prevent lower back problems.
