Hello my name is Jennifer Lee and I have dedicated this web site to the timeless art of Belly Dance. An art form I have been passionate about for several years.

Belly dancing is a great way to keep fit but at the same time it is a low impact form of exercise. This makes it suitable for all ages and people with different levels of fitness, shapes or sizes. Belly dancing offers everyone an unique way to express themselves not just their feminity but their inner most spirit. Many belly dancers have also forged new and lasting friendships.

For those wishing to learn, we hold belly dance classes for beginners every Wednesday evening at The Chichester Racquets and Fitness Club in Oaklands Park, Chichester and every Monday evening at The Bracklesham Barn Community Centre, Beech Avenue, Bracklesham Bay. Click here for more information.

If Belly Dancing interests you, there are also articles about belly dance which I have sourced through the years and videos of my favourite belly dancers from around the world.

This is also a community hub for belly dance activities in and around
Chichester.

We had our year end belly dance hafla in SEN Crown Restuarant, Chichester on 26th November, 2011. The ladies from the Bracklesham, Witterings and Chichester class had a fantastic time improvising perfect belly dance moves to egyptian and turkish music.

Thanks Ladies for the lovely evening.

Every Woman Should Be Belly Dancing

By Karen Lugay

The thing about it is that not too many women accomplish this. Belly Dance is for most an out of reach world which borders on the exotic and exclusive. Honestly much too many women are exempted from this world either by lack of knowledge or lack of exposure. Therefore they do not even fathom the idea of belly dancing being part of their lives.

Because of this, many miss out on this wonderful dance and never enjoy the emotional and physical benefits which belly dancing can bring into their lives. Unfortunately many belly dance books do not address the preliminary issues which may discourage someone from even giving belly dance a try. These books focus mostly on technique, which although important, is useless to someone who is not actively seeking what they are offering. Someone has to first WANT to do something before they can learn how to do it....MORE

Belly dancing with props.

I loved dancing with veils. There's something mystical, graceful and yes, feminine about veils. Props like veils, zills or finger cymbals, candelabra, candles, cane, Isis Wings, tambourines and swords are sometimes used to add variety to a belly dance performance.

Belly dance workshop in Chichester

It was the hottest day in October, very unusual for an autumn month. But it was the perfect day for belly dancing. It was a privilege to be invited to conduct a belly dance workshop for a charity event; Jimmy's Challenge 12 hour Dance-A-Thon.
