Raks Sharki (aka Belly Dance) is a dance style where a woman can change her identity and explore different sides of her emotions: from sadness to happiness, from anger to sensitivity-every feeling will find its place in this feminine dance style. Belly Dance improves your heart health, overall muscle strength, balance and coordination, and reduces depression. Belly dancing keeps you young, improves memory, and additionally, whilst the physical movement of the dance helps reduce stress, anxiety, dancing with others also helps us feel more connected and social.

The usual duration is 60-85 minutes and includes warming up, basic moves, dance sequences, choreography, cooling down and stretching. To help you with your journey to your Inner Goddes, we also work on posture, spine, beautiful hands. First 60 minutes is purely Bellydance class. The main focus of this part is to enjoy and to learn with a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Additional time is for basic ballet (to make your body stronger and posture healthier), stretching (to work on your inner muscles and flexibility), pilates or meditation to let go of all day worries and stress.

If you are a beginner who wants to learn how to belly dance, you are in the right place. Our main goal is to stay healthy and enjoy the process of learning. Together with highly professional teacher Yallar you will step by step learn belly dance famous moves such as:

And of course we will work on musicality and rhythm perception.

Bring comfortable gym wear such as leggings or shorts. Please avoid harem pants and long skirts as it prevents the teacher to see how your legs move. Stretchy top or sports bra for the upper body and bare feet, non-slippery socks or ballet shoes-whatever feels more convenient. Please do not wear coin belts for the group classes (we don’t want the teacher to lose her voice, don’t we?). Having a bottle of water is highly recommended.

Yallar is an experienced dancer and teacher who performed on stages of Egypt, Russia, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Italy, Hungary, Israel, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Turkey and UK. Her thesis “Performance skills development in Belly Dance using contemporary dance training/teaching methods” built a successful base for her own unique teaching method.

4worldlovers: What is Belly Dance? Raqs Sharqi (pronounced Roks Sharkee) literally translated means ‘dance from the East’, it is the classical and popular folk dance of Egypt and is an integral part of the Middle Eastern culture.

In Egypt, no marriage or celebration would be complete without a Raqs Sharqi performance. Almost all Egyptian women can dance, having learnt as children, not in dance classes but at home and at family gatherings. It is a dance performed by women for women.

It was originally taught to girls from an early age in order to strengthen their abdominal muscles in preparation for childbirth. The muscle isolation techniques require practice and control, and the smaller the movement, the greater the control and the more the muscle is exercised. Unlike Western European music, Arabic music’s most developed elements are not harmony and chord structure, but melody and rhythm.

These elements have become highly refined, and combine perfectly with the movements of Raqs Sharqi. Rhythm is expressed (usually, but not exclusively) with strong repetitive movements of the hips and the melodic line with the arms, the upper body and undulating movements of the torso
