We all know that one way to stay in shape is to dance. It does not matter what type of dancing it is but, Belly Dance has so many pluses that most do not realize the effects and how much it can not only help you lose weight, gain muscle and just feeling good about yourself. Belly Dancing for myself is the only way I stay in shape. Years ago I was a fitness instructor and I taught 12 different fitness classes a week. To have a full body workout including aerobics, strength, toning and endurance I would have to take or teach a separate class. Belly Dancing is truly a all in one work out. Yes, we do get our heart rate up so it is an aerobic workout plus with each movement we contract muscles so we not only work out our center core but, arms and legs as well. We are always working on flexibility and strength and endurance. One of my students messaged me one day very ecstatic that she had gone from a size 15 jean to a size 11 in just about 5 months. She was so grateful and thanked me for what I had done but, I had to remind her that even though yes, I was there to help her along she did it all by herself by being dedicated and coming to class as much as she could. All of my students have felt the benefits of Belly Dancing and most of them will tell you that they have slimed down and they just feel better about themselves in general!

1. Improved posture and muscle tone
