Shimmy Princesses

Bellydancing for Children
For children it’s fun to learn bellydancing. Dance is an ideal way for children to build muscle tone and learn to have fun, as dance is an exercise for the whole body.  The belly dance movements create a good basis for the later learning of other types of dance. Since bellydance is essentially a dance of improvisation, children have the ability to express and strengthen their still-forming characteristics.  It builds their self-confidence, enhances their posture and is a great way for them to meet new friends. Many children know the fairy tales from the Arabian Nights and are eager to learn to belly dance.  These days, sadly, a lot of young children are not as active as they should be – belly dance is therefore a way for girls to stay active, enjoy rhythms and have fun dressing up in veils and colourful costumes.
