Belly dance is great fun allowing you to become more at ease with movements of the body, flexibility, muscle tone, less stiffness of joints, posture and fluidness. No one should allow their muscles and joints to go without exercise. A great hour's workout literally from head to toe. It is a cultural art form of dance; you learn to move to the rhythm of the exciting middle eastern music. Doctors approve it.
