Bellydance is an ancient art form specifically geared toward the female body - emphasizing movement, beauty, and sensuality. It is a dance that promotes fitness, muscle strength and tone, and flexibility. A wonderful aspect of this dance form is that, unlike many other popular forms of dance, this is truly for EVERY woman...no matter their size, shape, or age. From the snaky undulation to the ecstatic shimmy, bellydance was made for the female body.

About the Class: Beginner Bellydance will focus on the very basics of bellydance technique. Learn to shimmy, undulate, and isolate muscle groups. We will work on learning a fun choreography to perform for friends and family. Bellydance is a great way to gain muscle strength, flexibility, and self-confidence!

About the Instructor: Phoenix Avathar has been bellydancing for about 10 years and has been teaching the art form for approximately 7 years. Having studied under a variety of talented New England dancers as well as attending intensive training sessions with several well-known dancers, Phoenix has extensive experience in a variety of bellydance styles. Currently, she is the artistic director of dance troupe: Moriquendi, and also teaches Improvisational Tribal Style Bellydance in Salem, MA.

(http://www.ladieswholaunch.com/magazine/daily-launchtip-march-16-2009/2902) In Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich, he discusses the importance of “A mind closed tightly against all the negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances” as an indispensable habit of persistence that all successful people cultivate. In light of our changed economy and the potential for surrounding ourselves with “doom and gloom”, I thought it an appropriate reminder that we must safeguard ourselves against a damaging mindset. What’s more, our chances increase when there is a collective of positive vibration attracting opportunities. As individuals we can do our part by staying out of toxic environments, which could be as simple as turning off the news or not engaging in conversations filled with complaining and negative language. On a deep level, if you value your contribution to the world, your business and your ideas, others will value them too and your success will emerge regardless of what’s happening around you. But first, you must get control of your mind and either stay away from the people and things that push your buttons OR resign to shift your energy to the positive no matter how tempting the negative may be.

Successful people keep their minds focused on potential and positive outcomes and resist the habit of negative doom and gloom thinking that is pervasive in the media right now. You can't afford to miss this class if you want to succeed in this economy and attract positive opportunities and relationships. This meditation class, like any other, will benefit your health by deeply relaxing you, and as an added bonus you will learn how to shift away from fear and loss into abundance and positivity. You can't afford to miss it!
