Baubo Belly Dancing
Hi, my name is Guinevere, I am a belly dance performer and teacher. I run classes, workshops and certificated belly dance courses in Pembrokeshire and West Wales. I am currently writing a book on belly dance for celebration and inspiration which includes contemporary visual representation of this beautiful art form. My book is the result of my 15 years and ongoing experience in the art of belly dance and I look forward to sharing it with you soon!
Come along to a weekend workshop at 'Over the Rainbow' Mansion and top up your passion for belly dance! If you are a total beginner, learn in a relaxed informal space and have some fun! Gift Vouchers are availbale for classes or workshops!
Belly Dancing, sometimes called Raks Sharki, Arabic, Middle Eastern, North African or Oriental Dancing is a wonderfully expressive art. It allows us to connect to and stimulate our creative centres. There are many types of Belly Dancing and we each find our own rhythms within it. People find it 'a great release' and they 'always feel better afterwards'. Through belly dance we can enjoy developing a new skill whilst improving our physical fitness and health. In this dance we work our whole body and feel the benefits in mind, body and soul.
Belly Dance is a name that pertains to the art of the belly roll, undulation and refined abdominal and hip moves that are very pertinent in some styles of Middle Eastern dance. The term belly dance was coined in the 1800's at a world trade fair by the French as -
'Dance du ventre' - dance of the belly! And it's stuck...
I call my Belly Dance business Baubo as Baubo relates to 'The Ancient Belly Goddess' associated with laughter, dancing and 'belly-talk'. Find out more on Baubo in -

And The Metamorphasis of Baubo, by Winifred Lubell
