Belly dancing has recently been made widely popular by Shakira, whose dancing combines belly dance, Latino and modern dance styles. Other singers also performed belly dance in their music videos, like Beyonce, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, Christina Aguiler & Jessica Simpson.
The benefits of belly dance are both mental and physical. Dancing provides a good cardio-vascular workout and helps increase both flexibility and strength, focusing on the torso or "core muscles", although it also builds leg strength. Many belly dance styles emphasize muscular "isolations", teaching the ability to move various muscles or muscle groups independently. Veil work can build arm, shoulder, and general upper-body strength, and playing the zils can build strength and independence of the fingers. This is for everyone of all ages, shapes and sizes!

Adult Ballet
Strip to Fit & Pussycat Doll Dance are the hottest new trend to keep fit, popularized by Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease and Sheila Kelley's S Factor classes. Danced to R&B and Hip Hop, these classes offer a great workout and a safe arena to move your body and laugh with your girl friends. In addition, the girls-only class boosts self confidence as girls recognize that they are beautiful at whatever shape or size!
Each class will start with some sexy style muscle conditioning to get you tight and toned and finish with a spicy routine involving either regular, floor or chair work. A Strip to Fit program spends more time on muscle conditioning while a Pussycat Doll Dance class is more focused on the dance choreography.
