Belly Dance: One of the Oldest Dances in the World
Dance… Who doesn’t love to dance? And I am not talking about competitive dancing. No, I am talking about that moment when you are listening to a song, and you like it so much that you just can’t stop yourself from moving in its rhythm. I am sure everyone knows that feeling!
Dance is a form of both art and communication, a non-verbal communication expressed by the dancer through his movements and gestures. This art has evolved in many styles; one of them is the belly dance. This is one of the oldest dances in the world, combining elements from different countries of the Middle East and North Africa, although its precise origins are uncertain.
It is characterized by its smooth and fluid movements and the coordination of different parts of the body. The focus is mainly on the hip and belly; it alternates fast and slow movements and works the abdominal muscles. There are chest and shoulder movements, as arm twisting. Each movement in this dance has a meaning. The wave motions, which usually are slow, symbolize the sadness. With the quick movements the dancer expresses joy. All movements of this dance are related to nature, for example, the soles of the feet rest firmly on the ground, which symbolizes the earth, or the dancer extends his arms always in a semi U form, this symbolizes the birds.
