Belly dancing is a wonderful fat-burning exercise! It stimulates circulation, builds flexibility, and raises your metabolism. Unlike some other dance forms, belly dance is friendly to big beautiful bodies. You can start learning it even as an adult. Because it's low impact, it won't place excessive stress on your joints. On this web site, I'd like to share ideas with you on how queen-sized women can enjoy being part of the belly dancing community. You don't have to bare your belly if you don't want to - there are many lovely costuming options that allow you to cover your midriff. And although restaurants typically look for young and thin dancers, there are also plenty of other places where dancers of all sizes and shapes are welcomed as performers. |

If you want to learn to belly dance, go ahead and try it! Don't think you need to lose weight first - use belly dancing itself to help you lose weight! It burns about 300 calories per hour, which is more than you'll burn sitting at home wishing you were dancing. If you sign up for a class, I'll bet you'll find other plus-sized students there too!

This web site has been chosen to receive the Size Wise Excellence Award. This award honors size-positive sites and their owners. To be considered, a site must express respect for people of all sizes, encourage a healthy approach to improved health at any size, spread the word that nobody should wait until they have lost weight to enjoy all that life has to offer, or show that you - a person of size - are quite comfortable with yourself. |
