bellydance

On Thursday, August 10, I attended the open class of the exotic dance centre Alegria which took place at the Centre of Young Technicians on E. Birznieka Upīša 4. The manager of the centre Ilze Zariņa introduced us to four types of dancing that can be learnt by the teachers of Alegria - belly dances, Indian dances, flamenco and Gypsy dances. There were performances of the teachers illustrating each of the dance types.

For the second time already the Exotic Dance Festival took place in the recreation centre of Madona, this time on August 8. The concert consisted of the achievements of modern belly dancing together with some show elements as haligi, saidi and oriental. Sharma had taken care of including Hawaiian dance style into the program. However, compared to last year, there was some sense of uniformity, a lack of Indian dances, tribal dance, Andalusian dance rhythms.

Dance as a physical activity, also as a developer of posture, balance and movements, as well as the creator of bodily freedom, relaxation, inner and outer peace. Many women have chosen them to keep themselves and their body in shape. Belly dancing is not a partner dance. It is one more aspect for a woman of any age, any profession, married or unmarried, despite her body proportions, could freely surrender to the dance, develop her body.

A very nice even took place on July 12 in the recreation centre of Madona. Dance studio "Mantigra" in cooperation with the City Council of Madona organized the first Exotic Dance Festival.
