The term "belly dance" invokes images of swirling veils, jingling scarves, and soft, sensual curves. And indeed, belly dancers are all that. But what most people fail to realise is that belly dancers are much stronger than you may think, and a LOT more badass!
My name is Chitra, and I'm one of India's first professional belly dance instructors. I'm also the pioneer of Club Belly, and the creator of the TwitterGetsFitter movement. I love to celebrate belly dance and belly dancers from across the world, and show the world not just how beautiful and talented they are, but also how incredibly strong. Years of muscle isolations and combinations give our bodies a great deal of flexibility and strength!
Plus, we dance with a lot of props that help further strengthen our bodies. My favourite? The sword! ;)
So come say Hi! I promise I won't use the sword (unless I haven't had my coffee yet. Then all bets are off!)
