Belly Dancing today, has gained immense popularity all across the globe. Its quite interesting to know why so many people, mostly women prefer to choose a dance form like Belly dancing, a dance form that has its roots embedded in the middle eastern countries and parts of north Africa, instead of going in for other forms of dancing. Well, being a trained belly dancer, I will give you 8 reasons to choose Belly dancing for your passion of love and a good health.

Belly dance helps you boost your confidence- from inner beauty to appearance, expressions to performance, with each class you know you have got it. You will never be that girl in the corner again!!!
  • Jewellery – If you have been the kid who has avoided wearing jewellery at almost every possible event, then hello… Belly dance is here to change your attitude towards jewellery’s. Every earring you see will seem tiny now.
  • Experience – Apart from learning something new each day, you also will experience stuff you probably never did. Drumming, filming, hemming, are a few to mention.

Hafla, a middle-eastern dance party is the place where sisters from almost everywhere around, come together to shimmy and share.
