Belly Dancing

Kitsilano workout offers Belly dancing as a unique way to get in shape, and a whole lot of fun too!
Belly dancing will get you moving parts of your body that you don’t usually pay any attention to. Combining movements of the neck, shoulders, pelvic area and diaphragm, belly dancing offers a gentle aerobic workout that is very easy on the joints. A single belly dance session works hundreds of muscles, burns calories and helps students to de-stress.

Just how good a workout is belly dance? That, of course, depends on how you do it, and how often. But practitioners say the precise, rolling movements of belly dance combine aerobic exercise with stretching and strengthening.

Belly dancing has emerged as one of the hot new workout trends in recent years, according to the American Council on Exercise.

The fitness advocate group says that belly dancing has evolved from the traditional concepts to become heart-pumping workouts in gyms across the nation. Participants wear loose fitting clothing and typically exercise in bare feet. Bring you running shoes in order to use the gym before and after class. The instructor will provide dance scarves and other props.

Brings a towel and a bottle of water as well! Be prepared for an hour of great fun!
