Belly Dancing: Shaking The Fat To A New Fad

SAN DIEGO, Ca. -- (July 21, 2003) - Belly dancing used to be considered a foreign and exotic dance performed at harems full of women trying to seduce the Sultan. However, Shakira, the hip shaking Latin singer, Britney Spears and Sting have started a new revolution that has women of all sizes and ages and across the country shaking their bodies to this exotic rhythm. Belly Dancing has become the new trend for people who want to exercise.

Master Belly Dance instructor, performer and choreographer Sahar Sami recently introduced Belly Dance classes as a new alternative to help San Diegans stay in shape. People looking to lose or manage their weight have a chance to use this old art form to help them accomplish their long- term health goals.

It is a surprise that it has taken America so long to embrace belly dance as a form of exercise. It is one of the most fun, low impact, creative, exciting cardiovascular exercises available to people who are tired of boring, harsh exercises. Belly Dance, formally known as Oriental Dance, offers a complete workout for the body and soul because it allows you to use your creativity" says Sahar Sami, Director of Sahars Academy of Egyptian Dance Arts, who teaches Belly Dance at her studio in Carlsbad and at Premier Athletic and Squash Club in Sorrento Valley. People are tired of aerobics and other types of exercises that are hard on their joints and knees. They are looking for a fun way to stay in shape and to de-stress after a long day of work -- which is why so many people are converting to belly dance as a form of exercise" reaffirms Sahar.

The facts speak for themselves, studies indicate that Americans are 60% fatter than they were 10 years ago. Sahars goal is to help Americans shake off the fat and improve their health by incorporating belly dance into their weekly activities. People who belly dance for at least a half hour 3-5 times a week will see improvements in their physical appearance as well as their emotional state because belly dance helps reduce stress, improve self esteem, and tone the body.
