Belly Dancing, sometimes called Raqs 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 1890's at the Chicago 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 -
Women who Run with the Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estes (1996)
The Metamorphosis of Baubo, by Winifred Lubell
Goddess Baubo sums up the unbridled joy that many women tap into during their journies into Belly Dance! See what's on offer for you...
