Anyone! Belly Dance, known as Raks Sharqi or Middle Eastern Dance, can be learned at any age. Students of Detroit Bellydance have ranged from ages 5 to 92 years old. What's even more beautiful isyou can be any size or shape. Curvy women are celebrated in this dance. I tell new students "give me three weeks and your hips will be moving like you never imagined possible!" WHAT TO WEAR: Be comfortable. Stretch pants, yoga pants, shorts, etc. Wear something you enjoy, even long skirts! Shirts can be tank tops,cholis, etc. For your feet: barefoot, flexible sandals, dance shoes orballet slippers. Gym shoes aren't the best because they're heavy and clunky and this, afterall, is a feminine dance! GOING PRO * Want to learn the tips to being a professional dancer? Call Lana for private session that's everything about the business. |
