The modes available to move the body and maintain good form are increasingly broad. But the ancient belly dancing still stands out as an activity, as well as dynamic, fun and great for burning calories, helps bring out the sensuality. The best news is that anyone can practice.

The benefits of belly dance ranging from aesthetics to a significant improvement in conditioning, flexibility and re-education of posture. Like other modes, there are also benefits from the psychological point of view, as exercise releases hormones directly linked to the well-being feeling.

Why practice belly dance?

I can cite several advantages related to belly dancing. The first is the actual calorie expenditure. In one hour class can burn about 300 calories. So, if you do two a week, certainly results in weight loss will be positive.

But the benefits of the sport go far beyond weight loss. Even the aesthetics, the dance moves also help tone and tighten the muscles of the abdomen, legs, arms, back and buttocks, ensuring a well-defined silhouette. Coordination and balance are also skills that develop with practice.

But when it comes to health, belly dancing provides also significant improvements. Initially, it increases and activates blood circulation, ensuring the proper functioning of the body. In addition, movements work the joints and stronger, which helps prevent injuries and illnesses over the years.

Finally, dance also guarantees a boost in self-esteem. The adepts of the sport often feel sexier without vulgarity. The movements also promote self-acceptance, demonstrating how the woman is a being charming. The sensory perception stimulates mental alertness and concentration.

It is worth to mention that belly dancing relieves stress and anxieties of everyday life, since the mind is immersed in the movements. Contact with colleagues group and the exchange of experiences also contribute positively to the practice becomes more enjoyable.

Dynamic classes

There are different ways to practice belly dancing, but the essence of the game is to follow the drum beats of music with parts of the body, especially the hips and arms. The idea is to harmonize the movements from the melodies, making the necessary push-ups.

Overall, the movements are the lateral hip rotation, the hip unilateral movement (one and two times), the shims (hip shake), (lateral hip little beat) and high heels. But there are many others who just can master over time.

The body part over stimulated during class is usually the abdomen. Mainly because the movements work the muscles of the region as a whole: a straight part, oblique and lower. Because they are joint and repetitive, with a continuous intensity, they provide good results quickly.
