Belly Dancing: Groove During The Pregnancy Too!
Belly dancing and pregnancy are two phrases you would never expect to see in the same sentence and during pregnancy it can be a wonderful activity for women to get their groove back. It's attainable to hold out belly dance even when you’re pregnant.  The strength that the muscles build-up can be quite beneficial even after delivery. Gentle belly dancing is a great way to exercise in pregnancy. Belly dancing uses your tummy and trunk muscles and helps to helps to stay your back supple.
Belly-dancing builds up strength in the muscles of the pelvis and abdomen. These are particularly needed throughout parturition and keeping them robust helps the mother return back to normal sooner. It helps scale back stress and anxiety of the maternity and provide immense relaxation immediately. Belly Dance will begin nudging a baby in an improper position to require the proper position for delivery. A baby facing ahead will begin facing behind, that is just perfect. It brings back the confidence in the body that the mother had before pregnancy conjointly builds abreast of the body image, increasing positivity. It conjointly assists in building and maintaining a good posture that forestalls stress on the rear and keeps the body fit. Coordination of assorted bodily limbs and keeping a balance of added weight becomes quite simple with regular belly-dancing to observe. Belly-dancing builds up the floor tone of the pelvis that’s essential in preventing any instance of prolapse of the uterus (female internal reproductive organ) later in life. The most fun movement is swinging your pelvis from one side to the other and simply gets exiting.
Not every belly dance move is pregnancy-friendly. While belly dancing is not prohibited during pregnancy, you still need to take some precaution. Do not try to emulate the professional belly dancing moves that involve sharp movements. Keep your movements slow and rhythmic. Start making large hip circles slowly. By doing so, the gravity acts on all areas of the uterus and can help in bringing the baby into an appropriate position. Always bend your knees when you dance. Do not keep them locked since it might cause the ligaments to tear. You'll be able to create 8-shaped movements together with your hip, too. When these 8s are made in a lateral way instead of horizontal, it helps in preparing your body for labor. Don’t shimmy as it could disturb the baby. Also avoid jumping, twisting of the hips quickly or bending too far behind. Eat a few hours before you start dancing. In case of any pain or discomfort, stop dancing and call your doctor immediately.
Pregnancy needs you to take enough rest and not undertake intense physical activities. It's common throughout the first weeks of maternity to possess ill-natured considerations concerning miscarriage, misunderstandings concerning what causes miscarriage. With the proper precautions and knowing which moves to undertake, belly dance will be a fun-filled activity for pregnant ladies that’s beneficial as well and you'll be able to confirm your delivery doesn't face any issues and you have got the strength to bring your neonate into this new world.
Attention! Five Misunderstandings of Belly Dance
1. Do dancers have to show their bellies?Â
Not necessarily. While it’s true that most belly dancing costumes are revealing, there are many types of them, and you can choose one depending on your preferences. Also, some dances within BD have a typical dress. For example, the chandelier dance is mostly performed with gowns or Beledi dresses, so that the attention of the spectator does not deviate too much from the instrument that accompanies the dance. There’s also three-piece costumes that cover most of the body, they are mostly used in Egypt thought. One advantage of BD is that the dress code is not usually as strict as other dance schools (ballet, tango, …), so you can choose something that you feel comfortable with.

Beledi dresses
Three-piece costume
2. Is Belly Dancing just shaking the belly?Â
Absolutely not. Moving the abdominal muscles is only one part of BD. In fact, it can be a complete workout for the body, since it involves arm movements (involving bicep, triceps and shoulder muscles), hip movements (walking and rolling hips to one side in sharp movements), back and bottom muscles, and in order to do the famous bally shaking (better known as shimmy) you need to isolate each part of your body so the only thing that actually moves during shimmy is your belly and waist. Also, you learn to dance with different instruments: finger cymbals, chandeliers, veils, isis wings, and even a snake! It can be quite challenging, as it involves rhythm, tempo and body coordination.

Finger cymbals
3. Is being “sexy” a must for belly dancers?Â
This is one of the biggest misconceptions of belly dancing. This dance revolves around sensuality and femininity, not sexuality. Before dancers wore many layers of clothing and no skin was shown. They bounced the layers of clothing with powerful pelvic tilts. So much so, that even with the ban that Egypt did in the 50’s, with the exception of not showing the belly, the spectators were still compelled by the charisma, strength, and sensuality that the dancer transmitted with her arms, glances, and union of movements with the drumbeats. And no, many of these dancers don’t have the perfect bodies that media sells today, but they sure steal glances with their movements and hair tossing. The costume and visuals are just one part of the performance, not the entirety of it.
4. Will belly dancing make your stomach bigger?Â
In fact, with constant practice and time, it will do just the opposite. Remember that this is a low-impact form of exercise (which means calorie expenditure), so, the more you dance, the more you shape your belly and waist. Besides, the continual contraction of abdominal muscles will help you tone that area, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have a six-pack like bodybuilders: this type of dance accepts women in all shapes and sizes and it’s not about strenuous activities that will leave you at low levels of body fat. You'll be toned but not ripped. And it is logical since an extremely ripped abdomen won’t give the visual effect that characterizes belly dancing.
Alla Kushnir
Another thin belly dancer
5. Are thin bodies not appropriate for belly dancing?
As we said earlier, belly dancing is the most inclusive among all types of dance. It is true that the stereotype of women from the Middle East is not extremely thin or “gym ripped”, but that doesn’t mean that only a woman who has very defined curves or that is “big” is the only one that can emphasize the movements of the belly. Remember that belly dancing is more than just belly movements, it involves the whole body, and if you have a good and correct technique, you can be an excellent belly dancer even if you are naturally slim. Alla Kushnir is thinner than most belly dancers, and she’s between the most popular ones in the world. Belly dancing is to celebrate your femininity, build self-esteem and simply enjoying yourself.
Attention! Five misunderstandings of belly dance Misunderstanding 1: Dancers must show belly? Misunderstanding 2: Dancing is just shaking belly? Misunderstanding 3: Is the dancer must to be sexy? Misunderstanding 4: Will belly dance make the stomach grow bigger? Misunderstanding 5: the thin body is bad for belly dance?

Belly Dance Costumes Guide
If we ask you what you think about today's belly dance, what is your answer? Many people may say that this is the way the dancer twists their waist, but apart from that, has it surprised you with gorgeous costumes?
When you are practicing belly dancing, you don't have to wear a specific outfit. Any outfit will do as long as it is comfortable. There is also no rule that belly dancers must wear navel revealing clothing. Simple t-shirts and shorts, as well as a hip scarf, can be worn for practice.
Generally, no socks or shoes are worn for belly dancing. That's because in ancient times, dancing with bare feet was a way of paying homage to the gods, a custom that continues to this day. But if you put a scarf around your hips, you'll have more fun. The hip gauze towel that has adornment to have the metal piece, have the luxuriant visual sense not only and can be fused with belly dance music for an organic whole, build a distinctive, cheerful atmosphere.
So today we are going to briefly study the composition of belly dance costumes. In a formal performance, belly dancing or dress code. Belly dance dress usually consists of six parts: 1) crop top, 2) sequined hip chain, 3) low-waisted skirt or bloomers, 4) veil, 5) headdress, 6) accessories, etc. Â
1.Crop top
Can choose the style of short sleeve small unlined upper garment, had better short sleeve or sleeveless because wear a long sleeve to dance too hot and uncomfortable.
You can also embroider plain bras with pretty colored sequins and colorful beads, but choose strong bras because they won't hold the weight of the sequins when you dance. Nylon is best for sequins and beads, and an elastic thread is best for shoulder straps so you can stretch when dancing.
2.Sequined hip chain
The effect that strengthens when dancing to move to feel, can be V form, can be a waveform, can compose goes up long bead chain below. The waist chain is usually four fingers below the navel and attached to the outside of a low-rise dress or bloomers.
Waist chain, the origin of the decorative pattern is very interesting, dancers jump before the ball hang receive gold COINS on waist or clothes, need to pick can be directly used, so the above ornaments tend to symbolize the dancer's popularity, enclose the towel in the hips, decorated with the pendant every do a crisp sound, make the dancer more excited.
Waist chain plays a quite crucial role in belly dance, the pendant chain that joins chatelaine, can follow the wriggle of the waist to dance, have the effect that makes the finishing point.
3.A low-rise dress or bloomers
Maxi long dresses or bloomers are usually made of light, transparent fabrics such as silk and satin. It falls just below the navel and above the hips. The skirt should be long so that the movement will have a flowing feeling, the skirt can be made into a separate style, or only in the front parting, which is not only convenient for dancing but also can show the sexy.
Bloomers loose and strong sense of drape, starting from the hip to the ankle gradually into a bell shape, in the ankle up. In the Middle East, many women wear bloomers directly on the outside or as underpants under their skirts, which is a very common women's clothing.
4.The Veil
The veil makes the dance more mysterious and exotic. The veil is usually two meters long and one and a half meters wide. It is made of transparent and light cloth.
5.Headdress
Belly dancing headdresses often feature snakes. This is easy to explain because snakes are a symbol of seduction in the Middle East, and the seduction inspired belly dance is of course not without snake-like head ornaments, which are also designed with plasticity so that they can be used as bracelets.
The headdress that metal and gem mix material to pledges to be able to add belly dancer luxuriant breath, the price is to can be too heavy, by contrast, the headdress that cloth gives priority to is a lot lighter, and luxuriant index won't because this reduces too much.
6.Accessories
Accessories are also an important part of belly dance. Ornaments include bracelets, necklaces, waist chains, anklets, etc. In short, having as many of these bells and whistles as possible on all parts of the body makes the whole look more vibrant.
The necklace of belly dance has all sorts of styles, give priority to with marked, hyperbole mostly. Metal necklaces with silver as the main material are the best and of course the heaviest. The necklace with the clever part design still can use as a headdress. Armbands and bracelets, on the other hand, are colorful and require a large string to be worn at one time. Additional, anklet, umbilical annulus, and the dancing shoe also are illuminative key. Anklets can be commonly used with arm-rings, belly dance anklets will dance with the dancer's feet to send out a pleasant sound. The shoes were made of cloth, studded with shiny beads and flakes of metal, and set off the graceful ankles of the dancers. The umbilicus is free to choose as the dancer wishes.
The Basic Stance of Belly Dancer
The basic posture of belly dance include neck, shoulder, arm, chest,
Neck: The neck needs to be upright, the head is facing forward, and the top of the head drives the cervical vertebrae and the thoracic vertebrae to extend upward.

From the appearance and posture of the dancers, the first thing we should know about belly dance is that it was popular in the Arab region in the Middle East. Since ancient times, most people of their races are strong, with obvious facial features and body characteristics. This feeling is even more apparent especially after the Arab woman has applied makeup.
Dariya Mitskevich has a standard exotic look and plump figure. Such an appearance has a strong visual impact on the stage. When she stood on the stage, people reflexively thought that she would dance an exotic belly dance instead of a Chinese folk dance with a fan.
Tanya Akkari-Belly Dance Enthusiast
The world of dancing is a wonderful one. You can learn a lot about the culture of a gentile, their history, what makes them unique, and become part of that wonderful way of life. You can create connections with people who share the same points of life and who also want to adapt to different cultures.
As a dancer, you will have days that will be very good and where you will feel that all the time spent in practices and fatigue were worth it. There will be days where you will feel that you do not have the capacity to express yourself in the right way or that you do not have enough grace. That’s not the case. You can gain a lot from dancing. Discipline will be the most memorable lesson. You will not only learn to respect and hear your teachers and follow their instructions, but you will also gain self-discipline, and that will push you to do and achieve many other things in your life.
Do not be afraid to try to learn some kind of dance because you do not have the recommended age to start. Dancing can be taxing, and that goes for all the styles. Each dance has its very own challenges, that’s without doubt, but dancing is for everyone. You might be surprised at how much you can achieve and learn, the friendships you can make and the freedom you can feel. Dancing is quite liberating. You forget about your problems and just immerse yourself at the moment.  All in all, the most important is for you to enjoy yourself and to enjoy what you are doing. The more you enjoy it, the better you will dance and the easier you will learn.
Belly Dancing &Weight Loss
Is there really a connection between belly dancing and slimming?
There isn’t a simple yes or no answer to this question. It depends on many factors. Belly dancing can help construct some core strength which can lead to the figure in the waist area being molded. Belly dancing is another form of exercise. In normal sessions, you can burn more than 200 calories, in some other a lot less since there won’t aerobic exercise involved, but simply slow and steady hip movements and warming up exercises.
As a form of exercise, it means that the more you dance, the more you burn. If you engage in regular classes, three times a week for example, or 30 minutes per day at least, it can aid to weight loss, the opposite of what would happen with only one class a week and a sedentary lifestyle the rest of the days. Also, you need to keep in mind that the basics of weight loss are: burning more calories than you eat. You won’t lose weight with belly dancing if you don’t do the right dietary choices: binging on alcohol, eating junk food, foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats and so on.
Most dancers are conscious of what they eat most of the time. The healthier, natural and nutritious your diet is, the better you can nourish your muscles and have a correct hormonal environment. Furthermore, it’s also important to understand that belly dance cannot compensate for the effects of health and medical conditions: medication side effects, hormonal issues, stress, psychological issues and genetic predispositions (not all bodies will react the same to belly dancing. Some women will lose weight on their legs, others on their arms and so on).
Think of this as an enjoyable and fun activity. Everything we do is related to the brain activity, and if you adapt your mind to think of this as something pleasant, you will stick to it more easily and you can lose more weight than you imagined.
