Belly Dancing Basics


Book Description

Sumptuous color photography combined with comprehensive and detailed easy-to-follow instructions demonstrate a unique way for women to get and keep fit while expressing their sensuality through Belly Dancing. Would-be dancers who have longed to learn the intricacies of this ancient dance form can now experience the pleasure of learning and mastering all the basic steps, putting together an individualized routine and adding magic to their performance with veils, swords, and the tiny finger cymbals known as zills . Each complex movement of the body is painstakingly broken down into concise step-by-step directions that are easy to follow. Perfect for the basic beginner, the instructions also offer alternatives and additions to the movements to accommodate a dancer’s growing skill. The lavish sequence of images captures each delicately curved hip and splayed finger; the arch of a foot and the arc of a backbend; and the careful placement of a leg. You can practically see the stomach rippling sinuously, the hips shimmying wildly, and the hair whipping around as the dancer twirls.

Many women find belly dancing the most enjoyable way to get in shape while simultaneously getting in touch with their bodies and tapping their spirituality. Belly Dancing for Fitness shows how this alternative dance-exercise can be as easy and fulfilling as yoga. Belly dancing includes floor gymnastics, back bends, poses, and stretches. The book also outlines how to synchronize one's breathing and coordinate the mind and body. Drawing from her years of experience as a world-famous teacher and performer, the author discusses the history and culture of belly dancing. She then carefully leads the reader through each skill level of this increasingly popular exercise art form.

Belly Dance


Book Description

Beautifully photographed live Belly Dance performances. Photographed during ten years with over 100 dancers. Author Martha Burns: "I wanted to recapture and share the dancers' inspiration and magic by means of visual images. I have been honored with Dr. Christiane Northrup writing my book's foreword, Alice Walker, Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD, and Jalaja Bonheim allowing me to quote from their books and for their encouraging words. Belly dance is a misunderstood art. Through my book, I hope to illustrate belly dance's beauty and power, why belly dancers believe this movement is the mother of all dance and why they dedicate their lives to mastering this art form. Belly dancers celebrate their (and each others') power and femininity with profound respect and reverence regardless of age, color, or size. Many feel a divine feminine energy during their dance transforming them into Goddesses. We all bask in this feminine force; those of us watching also become Goddesses." www.BellyDanceBook.net
