More and more women, of all cultural backgrounds, are feeling inspired to give belly dancing classes a go.

Arabic dance classes offer a safe and comfortable haven in which women can freely express their authenticity. In the company of others, who are also seeking to have a fun and empowering experience, you can achieve healing, a shift in spiritual consciousness, and transformation. Immersing yourself in the cultural traditions of belly dance gives you an opportunity to really explore who you are.

Discover Your Inner Goddess

Feminine divinity has been worshipped for centuries. The Goddess is considered to be the prime creator and the nurturer, throughout history. In her magical rituals, belly dance was her chosen form of free expression. The exotic dance of liberation was in harmony with the lunar cycles and celestial rhythms, and honoured Mother Earth, fertility and birth.
When you attend belly dance lessons your spirit performs a celebration dance that honours your inner Goddess. You can learn how to shimmy and sway, master the complex techniques, and dress up in beautiful belly dance costumes that enhance your Goddess experience.

Reveal The Identity Of Your Higher Self

Arabic dance lessons offer an opportunity for women to get together to have a good time, and to explore the sacred spiritual connection that we are all born with. Many of the movements that are taught in belly dancing during our courses are sacred ways of reconnecting to Higher Self spiritual energy. One of the most familiar gestures involves the placement of a pyramid shape, made with the hands, on to the third eye that is positioned on the forehead. This is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection.
In the baladi dance that students are taught on belly dance courses, dancers sometimes use props to hide and reveal parts of the body. Shawls and scarves can be used to cheekily reveal a shoulder or to accentuate the feminine curves of the hips. The dancer’s fluid movements and motions empower her to freely express her Goddess like power. The women that regularly get together to belly dance in north London, and other areas, are making a choice to empower themselves.

Balancing Feminine Energies

The physical movement involved in belly dancing is a powerful way to awaken potent feminine energy. The fast shaking shimmy awakens the energy in the belly, thighs and buttocks, and contributes to the stimulation of the creative energy that resides in the sacral chakra (located in the lower abdomen). This movement also releases built up energy that is associated with emotions.
The rounded circular figure eight movement of the hips is one of the basic moves that students learn in belly dance. This ritualistic and rhythmic motion is thought to help prepare the body for childbirth, and also expresses spiritual power.
