...... where romance beckons through dark eyes, silken veils, where enchantment lurks 'round dusty narrow streets .... in crowded noisy bazaars! Welcome to the world of Bellydancing.
Tanya will be commencing new classes in January 2011 at the yoga/physio studio in Auchenflower, Queensland.
Tanya has been bellydancing for over ten years, and recently returned from an educational bellydance trip to Egypt with 20 other bellydancers, some would say the homeland of this sensuous genre. This was a banquet of oriental experiences that Tanya can now bring to her classes.
Belly dance is an Eastern form
that has recently become a popular antidote to our competitive and hectic
world. It consists of natural movements that work with the body, not
against it. The movements exercise and refine the entire physical body and
its functions. The rolling and undulating moves gently work the muscles
and joints in a full range of motion, at the same time, the movements
massage away tensions. Vibrations, shimmies, and
more energetic movements aid in eliminating excess energy and stress.
Belly dance has probably been around for thousands of years. Some theories
about its origins say the dance has its roots in India and was spread in
the West by Gypsies. Others say it came from ancient Egypt, stating its
relation with ritual dances, and as part of religions that worshipped the
Great Goddess.
Think of the magic of the foot, comparativly small, upon which your whole
weight rests. It's a miracle, and the dance...is a celebration of that
miracle.
