An Inspiring and Unique Holistic Movement Training.
Belly Dance Craft will open new doors for you, providing more than the benefits of dance itself it will also enrich your connection with yourself, teaching tools to nurture your mental, emotional and physical health.
*Belly Dancing is an intrinsic dance for women that nourishes sisterhood and body awareness. Our classes work on strengthening your body, improving your balance, posture and resilience. Our gentle stretches and creative cardio practices offer you an array of benefits that go beyond just working on your body; calming your mind, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting overall wellbeing.
