Oriental and Gypsy Bellydancing is feminine, fit and fun!

This Meetup Group is about experiencing the awesome Art of Belly Dancing and Gypsy Dancing, including all the relevant types of the Oriental Dances. The traditional "Raqs Sharki" and "Raqs Asaya", the Greco-Turk "Tsifteteli" and the Eastern Folkloric dances are our passion.
Snake Arms, Serpentines, Shimmies, long skirts and Harem pants, tambourines and drums, big earrings and bare feet, cymbals and veils are included. Most of all the Love for Belly Dance, the strong Desire for this Feminine, Seductive and Dynamic Expression of the women's Passion is the 'fuel' for this Meetup Group.
What we need is a Dance Floor, a Stereo System and our energy, to improve our Elegance, Beauty and Grace. Events will be held often, meetup-classes and 'Haflas' (bellydancing parties) in order to keep us active and energetic, through the experience of Belly Dance. The Dance Studio is already waiting for our Meetups, the only thing we need is to feel the music and to follow the beat with our hips, chest, arms, with every part of our body and soul.
We'll have Belly Dance and Gypsy-dance Workshops and also the chance for Improvisational Dance. Acting is part of the Belly Dance, so we'll learn how to narrate stories from Eastern Countries and to express our emotions through Dance. Mild and slow moves will blend with sharp and fast ones, undulations, isolations and skirt's swirls will be part of our own entertainment. Most of all, we'll have the wonderful chance to get together, as women who love the Beautiful, Bare footed Belly Dance and Gypsy Dance.
If the Gypsy Dances are about "traveling through dance around a fire and swirling our long skirts", then "LET"S LIGHT UP A FIRE AND SWIRL OUR GYPSY SKIRT".
