Bellydance is for Every Body

Dance has been an integral part of celebrations from the dawn of time. What we know as "bellydance" has its origins in traditional Middle Eastern folkloric dance enjoyed socially by men and women of all ages, usually at festive occasions such as weddings.

The first recorded Western encounter with bellydance was during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798, when his troops encountered the gypsy dancers of the Ghawazee, and the more refined dancing of the Almeh. Today, contemporary performers in Egyptian restaurants and cabarets can be male or female, and are required to protect their modesty.

Bellydancing is a fun and sensual low-impact way to explore your inner beauty and grace as you improve circulation, reduce blood pressure, maintain joint health and burn calories. With an emphasis on proper posture and technique, Shadiya strives to create a warm, safe and supportive environment where people of all sizes, age and ability can enjoy this ancient art form.
