GODDESSDANCE BELLYDANCE CLASSES
"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 & Middle East and the
contemporary West.
Belly Dance is a journey of discovery, acceptance & appreciation for the
wonderful gifts of being alive: feeling, moving, creating and connecting.
Goddessdance Bellydance develops self awareness and expression through
movement by connecting body, heart and soul. It draws on archetypal
movements that originate in ancient traditions & shared experiences of
femininity, accentuating the creativity, power and grace of the feminine
form, bringing out the goddess within!
