About the class:
In the first half hour of the class, burn mega calories, relieve stress and get the sweat flowing with fun, easy to learn cardio moves infused with the ancient and beautiful fundamentals of Belly Dance, Bollywood, Bhangra, African Dance and more. During the second half of the class, enjoy sculpting, toning and tightening with Pilates inspired core work, a deep yet relaxing Yoga inspired stretch and mindful Mudra Meditation. Be inspired and motivated by high energy electronic beats, fused with culturally rich ethno-organic sounds and melodies, and experience an hour that inspires the body, the mind, the spirit and the heart to reach beyond limitations and into pure transformation.
You don't have to know how to dance to do Bellyfit. The whole point of Bellyfit is to offer the many benefits of Holistic Fitness to women of all walks of life, all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels who are not dancers, but who want to reap the many health benefits available through the movement and the music.
What do you need to make your Bellyfit experience the best possible?
Shoes please - Bellyfit is designed to be a 'shoes on' experience for the first half and 'shoes off' for the second half. You will find that your joints have more support, your ankles have more support and your feet can pivot freely.
Clothes - Whatever you wear to any other fitness or dance class will be fine. Natural breathable fabrics are best. And support for the chest is always great especially if you like to add a bounce to your step. And a hip scarf if you want.
Water - You will most likely sweat during the your Bellyfit class. Please stay hydrated and drink when you need to. You will be able to concentrate better and your cells will have the fuel they need to do the jobs they need to do.
Yoga Mat - Many facilities have mats available, but if you have your own please bring if you can. It is always nice to have your own mat.
