THE HISTORY OF BELLYROBICS
This is
a fairly new addition to the world of bellydance. It is a workout that moves continuously using a little or a
lot of bellydance moves. It actually falls more apply under the heading of aerobic workouts, and not under the
umbrella term Belly Dance.
Indeed, I've run into more than one fitness DVD where it quickly becomes
apparent that an aerobics and fitness instructor took a session or two of bellydance and began teaching bellyrobics.
I have seen first-hand a studio owner push one of her instructors into teaching bellydance after only one session of
training, as though it was something to be learned as quickly as an aerobics workout.
My personal opinion is that this is fine and dandy. The more women who discover and use bellydance, the better.
I hope it makes them curious to learn more and discover the decades of study ahead of them. I also applaud every woman
who tries to add variety to her fitness plans so that she stays healthy and active throughout her life. Sometimes it's
difficult for the busy woman to make time for her own health, so if a little shimmy in aerobics class keeps her coming back,
then she gets a loud zhagareet from me.
I'll review a few of the DVDs I've come across in the upcoming
months. Whatever you choose to do, take care of your mind and spirit by honoring your body and its needs. In other
words, Work It Girl! :-)
