Does belly dancing make you lose weight?

It certainly makes one “lighten up” from the burden, in every sense.

When you think of dance you immediately think of the word “graceful,” when you imagine the twirls of a ballerina you immediately think of her supple, slender body drawing embroidery in the air as if she were swimming in it…this effect is certainly due to how LIGHT we know we are.

No, weight has nothing to do with it, I assure you. Yes, of course lifting an ounce costs less effort than a kilo, but lightness is above all a state of mind, a state of being.

Tension is the enemy of movement.
When music really flows through you it shows.

You are light when inside you make room for the unknown and welcome it by lending its body in total trust….
You are light when your muscles become silken strings to be played by the breath of inspiration.
You are light when you become The Dance.
