Baubo Belly Dancing News Stories

Full of Eastern Promise

The Milford Mercury--22nd of January 2004

'Yes, belly dancing has arrived in Milford Haven with classes under the tutelage of Guinevere Clark.

She said; "I wanted to keep fit but I had back problems. Bellydancing is good for you if you have got a bad back, more fun than going to the gym."

Guinevere says that essentially anyone can bellydance but any men hoping to catch a glimpse of these seductive dancers will be disapointed because the classes are for women only.

Guinevere, 29, added; "We use the hips a lot in Bellydancing and it is a sensual way of moving so some women could be embarrassed to dance in front of men. Belly dancing is traditionally a dance done by women for women. It is just the western world which has turned it into something erotic for men."

...According to Guinevere, bellydancing is an excellent way to stay in shape and even helps prepare women for childbirth!

"It improves stamina and balance, and all the moves increase the pelvic floor muscles which is good for women both pre and post childbirth. If you improve the abdominal muscles that will also help support the lower back."

"It is good for the soul and generally it's a fun way to keep fit and enjoy the company of other women as well."

Classes are held every Wednesday at Pill Social Centre at 7.30 pm and cost £3.50
