Each dance is a little story about yourself, your feelings, your man. This dance does not exist without emanations of love, heady aroma of which extends around the dancing. Where else you can show your essence, understanding of life, its strength, the story of love, relationships between men and women, their conflict and a passionate attraction to each other so sensual and bright, without words.

32132466_picture01So, what happens since the moment when you first came to arabic dance classes? You change clothes, tie a scarf and enter the class of strangers with an open stomach (stomach - is an open and vulnerable place). If you are careful enough to yourself, then you will immediately notice any of your body parts you are not very happy with. A rehearsal starts and you have to move in a way you do not use in normal life. (So far …) And now you have a stick in the hip, your back aches, wave does not walk along belly, and posture is poor, and shoulders and neck are very stiff. And while you need to smile seductively, “snap eyes”, and you suddenly fall from your customary image, and style of behavior.

If you are not too frightened, or if you are lucky and feel the vital energy that will tickle you from the inside on the very first lesson, and you continue training, then there will begin an amazing transformation affecting physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels.

At the physical level, flexibility and plasticity will return to you through arabic dance. That ripple, which underlies the dance, will help to remove accumulated stress and fatigue in the body, improve metabolism in tissues, remove stiffness. (It is not necessary to write about favor of belly dance for a female body, since it is well known.) As tension and fatigue in the body are connected with our everyday psychological problems, fears, inner bondage, vaguely expressed feelings, through dancing you will get rid of negative emotional background, and feel some kind of joyous lift and vivacity. You will feel the richness of life. Your stiffness and angularity, sharpness of movements are replaced by a polished plastic. Your body will become more feminine. You will attract admiring glances.

This will strengthen your confidence. In this dance you enjoy yourself: I am sweet and sensual. Warm vibrant energy flows in your body. You live, you breathe, you cause positive emotions of others. You feel their response. There is something that fills me most: your true self is manifested inside, your true energy, the way you are. This is a special gleam in eyes, distinctive flavor, magic of movement, melody. This is fascinating. And the audience opens to it, and many have tears in their eyes …

Your life is filled with festivals, you leave everyday life, you reach your inner balance, you feel satisfied. Your increased level of energy makes your mind free, you come to new ideas, new content. You regain yourself.

This, of course, is an ideal picture. On this way, we face many difficulties, but that’s the whole interest!

Gabrielle Roth, a dancer, wrote about five rhythms that make up the dance in her book “Cards of ecstasy”:

1. Liquid rhythm teaches fluidity and grace.

2. Rhythm of staccato teaches clarity and sophistication.

3. Lyrical rhythm teaches integrity and integration.

4. Rhythm of silence teaches peace and tranquility.

We wish you to know each of them and learn feeling comfortable everywhere!
