Isle of Wight Bellydancing - Eastern Promise

Welcome to Isle of Wight Bellydance - where we promise that you'll increase in self-confidence and enjoy yourselves!

Belly dance is the oldest and most fascinating dance, fantastic for fun and fitness. It originates from the Middle East and North Africa, and one of the most common misconceptions of belly dance is that it was intended to entertain men; however due to segregation of the sexes in these countries men rarely witnessed it.

Belly dancing offers women a community of friends and creates self-confidence in an art form that embraces all body types and ages. No matter what your age, shape or size belly dancing is for you. It is a gentle form of exercise that increases muscle tone and poise yet also has the ability to discover the hidden goddess that is within each of us.

I have 3 years belly dance experience and am a member of a belly dance troupe on the Isle Of Wight. I think the belly dance community here is very welcoming and I enjoy being a part of it. In my classes I aim to teach the basics of belly dance, and choreographies in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is all about learning a new skill, exercise, making new friends and most importantly of all - enjoying yourself.
