Book synopsis

Belly dance is pure sensuousness and has enchanted humans since ancient times. Yet beyond its erotic aspects, belly dancing offers many physical and emotional benefits. On the physical level it helps with muscle stiffness, anatomic nervous system disturbances, mobility of the abdominal region and strengthening the back, which in turn enhances the body's overall posture. Belly dancing, also, relieves menstrual problems and has been shown to be extremely useful during pregnancy and childbirth. On the emotional side belly dancing increases the libido and has enabled women to overcome self-esteem issues and regain healthy feeling of sensuality and sexuality. Belly Dancing covers all aspects of this ancient art, beginning with its origins and mythical connections to the moon goddess. The authors provide practical instructions and easy-to-follow photographs for the most important dance movements as well as guidance in costuming and related accoutrements. Additional information on foot reflexology and Indian chakras aid the further understanding of the art. The book, also, contains recipes for Middle Eastern perfumes, cosmetic creams and food, as well as suggestions for musical accompaniment.
