Don’t believe the misconception that belly dance is performed simply for the titillation of men, or that it is performed by "loose women".On the contrary, belly dance is a beautiful, ancient art form that gave women a voice in a time when they were repressed and segregated. They danced together to express themselves through the powerful, healing movements of belly dance, and this tradition continues today. 

In this class taught by Benita, you will learn gentle belly dance movements that will help you open a portal for self-expression, as in ancient times, re-connect to your femininity, strengthen your arms and core, correct posture, improve flexibility and balance, and more. Come dance with Benita and have fun discovering your divine self while moving to traditional and contemporary music. You may get smitten over belly dance the first day, so come at your own risk!
