Belly Dancing was once a thing of burning sands and the burning passions of the harem. Now, it is becoming increasingly recognised throughout the Western world as an exciting form of exercise and relaxation - for anyone of any age. Belly Dancing offers many benefits to practitioners in terms of both health and fitness as it can aid posture, breathing and balance. Also it stimulates the senses, releases muscle tension and improves co-ordination. Belly Dancing for Beginners, introduced by internationally published author Tina Hobin, introduces the basic movements and concepts of the dance in easy-to-follow stages.
