The oriental dance in general

The oriental dance or belly dance is one of the oldest dance forms and is originally a pure improvisation dance that seeks a close symbiosis with the music. It is extremely multifaceted and full of archaic symbolism.

BellyWell - improvisation, bodywork & relaxation

Do you want to relax? Are you looking for a gentle workout for your back? Would you like to discover movement in a new way? Do you just like to dance?

BellyWell is a new concept that combines elements of oriental dance and body work in order to gently dissolve blockages and get the body flowing.

At the beginning of every lesson there is a relaxed arrival in one's own center, followed by exercises that promote flexibility and strengthen the body. The transition to the oriental dance figures is fluid and you can experience that the difficult thing is often to allow the easy. However, the more consciously we learn to perceive our body itself, to feel where we are blocking ourselves, the more transparent and easier the individual movements become. Accompanying the participants sensitively is one of our main concerns.

BellyWell is a wonderful course for beginners, but also for people who may not have dared to tackle dance and movement before.
BellyWell also offers the ideal complement to normal dance classes, as the basic movements are trained with more time and with a different focus. The body work makes it possible to correct bad posture in the long term and to train the awareness for a relaxed handling of the body. Because only when a movement feels easy can it really be danced with pleasure.
