Why belly dance you may be asking?


Its about thinking outside of the box a bit. Women's work, interests and actions are continually marginalized in our world. So much so, that a stereotype exists that is absolutely not in line with truth. Media, politicians, religious leaders and business men may think belly dance is either some sexy dance or else itıs a frumpy dance done by non important housewives.

We are tired of it, frankly. Bellydance is supported by a huge amount of women. Women have been staying with belly dance longer than most marriages can last. It is very important to them.

Belly dance is not a dance of the slave girl of the middle east or a dance done by naughty little girls. Itıs a serious dance done by women.

Belly dance is a dance that teaches independence. It not dependent on a partner. It is all about birth, (belly, hips and breasts) creativity (gestation, insight, organization of things) celebration of the feminine (women) and it breeds self empowerment (look out!).

When women learn to accept their own bodies and learn to express themselves in a non-verbal way (dance) with every part of their body, mind and emotional capacity (freedom of speech) in a non choreographed way (trait indicative to belly dance) it is a revolution brewing!

The next thing is they are going to use their power! Something new is being birthed!

We are sincerely celebrating beauty, power, strength, diversity and passion of the Great Mother in our Billion Belly March June 17th.
