Why even belly dance?

Being a unique style of exercise, you can work different muscles that have not been engaged before, sculpting and toning your body in a new light. Women love to take this dance because of the way it makes you feel: confident, sexy, full of life and energy, and not being afraid to try something new. And it's so much fun!!!
How do I get started?

Why hire a belly dancer?

-Exciting change of environment, which is fun and light-hearted
-Something classy and different, but not over the top
-People have a chance to dance if he/she does not normally dance
-It makes anyone smile
-Bring a cultural diverse ambiance to your event
Is belly dancing like stripping?
Absolutely not! Belly Dancers may wear costumes which bare skin, but to show their movement and skill. But in general, apart from the occasional veil, we keep on what we are wearing. Belly dance performances are suitable and recommended for all ages.
What size do you have to be to dance?
This is a dance for ALL women. There is no size requirement. Only that you have fun and enjoy what the dance has to offer. The media may show a different view of what a belly dancer should look like, but if you ask people who are familiar with the dance/culture, you will realize, it's mainly about how you convey the dance and your individual expression.
Is it okay to hire a belly dancer if I have a husband or boyfriend? Won't that be weird?
It's definitely okay. Depending on the venue, dancers may approach the audience or stay in one spot where most people can see. People can then enjoy the view from his/her seat without feeling uneasy or uncomfortable. Just let your belly dancer know what you are most comfortable with and she/he can accommodate your needs or wants.
