Holistic Belly Dance Class

The class includes besides dancing, different techniques such as Mindfulness, body therapy, and the topography of emotions. Because mind and body are a whole, during our lives we create an armor in our body based on emotions and experiences. The way we normally stand has a lot to do with our mental health. In belly dance we tend to focus our movements in the pelvis and the belly, those areas tend to accumulate a lot of tension. Through movements, we can become aware of this and revitalize this area. So, the holistic approach integrates the different dimensions of existence and promotes self knowledge, mental health and wellness.
