Belly Dance for Every Body

Belly dance is one of the oldest dance forms dating back to the 11th century. It is, primarily, a celebratory dance performed for women by women. It has evolved over the years to include such variety and style to suit every dancer.From the earthy "Tribal" dance to the classical "Egyptian" and even 'Gothic" and "Fusion" there is genre for everyone.

Belly dance allows women to express themselves through movement and to reclaim their identities and a sense of inner power. It teaches women to love the body they are in and encourages and promotes self-esteem within a supportive, social enviroment.

Sadly during world wars women in the oringinating middle eastern countries, working to feed thier families, brought the dance out of their women only enviroments and before foreign men. Eventually the movie industry used the dance but altered the costumes and sexualized belly dance. This existing sexual taboo of a folk dance still prevails today in the general public despite nearly a century's passing. Once experienced however, myths disolve and the true healing, empowering, joyous and communicative nature of the dance prevails.

Basha Raks hold the utmost respect for the dance, each other and the audiences we perform for. We never promte belly dance as a dance of enticement but a dance of celebration and joy!

Senior Ladies Snakey Steps Class











I've had the great pleasure of instructing 3 wonderful women in my Snakey Steps stretch class. It's been great showing them different poses and watching them improve week to week. They were even feeling adventurous enough in the last 2 classes to try some of the more advanced poses! They did so well, much to their surprise! It just goes to show you....you don't know what you can do until you try!
