Introduction to Belly Dance

Shape Up!

Belly Dancing is a category that I came across after designing and making a costume for a customer. Belly Dance or 'Shimmie' as it is also termed, is a form of giration and movement of the hips and arms and stomach rolls to music. It is fast becoming a popular class with young to middle age women and, is good exercise which can help in shaping up the figure so I'm told.

You will find Belly Dancing classes in most areas, a list of which you can find in our Resource Directory, also you can read about other readers experiences in our 'Spotlight On' section, see 'Sophie Mei' a talented and well travelled 19yr old Belly Dancer who has just come onboard as one of our volunteer Belly Dancing writers.
