For women who enjoy the sensual rhythms of the East

Belly Dance is an art form that echoes the combined heritage of many countries; it weaves the exotic and beautiful threads of many cultures into a uniquely beautiful tapestry of dance. It is also an art form that speaks volumes to an increasing number of New Zealanders. Belly Dance, as a high performance art, is distinguished by its depth, complexity and fullness of expression. As an alternative form of recreational movement it provides an inspiring, accessible tool for artistic expression and physical freedom to a broad spectrum of New Zealanders.
Belly Dance is one of the few dance performance arts that not only allows a dancer to continue to perform into her mature years, it is a dance form where the dancer can only reach her peak in those years. Where other dance forms consider their performers past their prime in there 30's, Belly Dance considers you have only just begun your assent. This makes it an art form that can be performed and enjoyed for a lifetime.
