BELLY DANCING
Faulkner's Belly Dancing Program specializes in teaching the philosophy of Belly Dancing and offering quality instruction.
Belly Dancing is an ancient form of Middle Eastern dance that had its beginnings in village and tribal life. Its origin stems from the veneration of the woman's procreative powers. It is not just a night club entertainment, as is thought by many in western cultures, but is a "people's" dance. All participate in this expression/celebration of life: young and old, male and female. Belly Dance is the world's oldest dance form. Many historians believe that there are Hieroglyphs from Pharonic times in Ancient Egypt that depict the earliest belly dancers. Some say the words 'Belly Dance' was born at a World's Fair in New York over 120 years ago, when the expression was used to get the crowds into the Egyptian Pavilion and see the traditional dancing. Egypt has always been at the center of the belly dancing. Belly Dancing is the best dance for women's bodies. The moves accentuate and make women beautiful, and can be performed beautifully by woman of all ages and sizes. Some of the basic moves are shimmies and undulations.
