Why Belly Dance?

Bellydance is a dance/art form that has gained popularity in the United States within the last few decades but has been around countries in the Middle East for many, many years. Part of the popularity of the dance form is attributed to the stunning, exciting, and beautiful ways in which it is performed. However, belly dance is also very fun to learn because there are many physiological, spiritual, social and emotional benefits and attributes that make it the dance form that truly celebrates womanhood and femininity. It also promotes a healthy body image for ALL women in ways no other dance form can do. So, what are you waiting for? Grab a couple of girlfriends and give it a try. You'll love it- and your life will surely be enriched!

*Special Note Regarding Studio Location:

The entry door to the studio is located on N. McDonough Street, not Sycamore (on the Square). You will turn onto N. McDonough into a U-shaped parking lot with metered parking spaces. Almost immediately on your right, you will see another, smaller parking lot. The studio entrance door is at the bottom of that parking lot. You can park in that lot or in the main McDonough parking lot at the metered spaces. If the studio door is locked, you can ring the downstairs studio doorbell and someone can open the door for you. More general directions on the studio location can be found on the website at: severaldancerscore.com.
