Belly Dance Workshop
Belly dance is one of the most beloved art forms of the Arab world, carrying stories of culture, femininity, resistance, and everyday life. This workshop is an invitation to experience it for yourself and explore how movement can support wellbeing, body confidence, self-expression, and joy. We’ll learn some of the basics of belly dance, hear a little about the stories and traditions behind the movements, and reflect on what it can mean for women to express themselves through their bodies. No experience is needed, and every woman is welcome, whatever your age, body shape, fitness level, or dance experience. There is no “right” body to dance in and no “right” way to move, It is a space to move, connect, have fun, and feel comfortable in our bodies without judgment.
