You use many muscles in your body when you belly dance so it is a great form of exercise and weight loss. It is easy and fun to start off slow and learn a few basic steps, then build up to a few more steps until you have mastered the dance. After you feel comfortable with a few basic steps, it is exciting to practice while wearing belly dancing clothes. Being able to feel a flowing skirt sway and float around your body while you are dancing, or being able to twirl a beautiful silk scarf while you are dancing enlivens the movements.
You can also shop at online auctions like eBay as there are eBay stores that are filled with belly dancing clothes where you may be able to find some real bargains. These clothes are usually made of sheer materials like silk as silk is lightweight and the fabric floats and sways with the body as it moves. The colors of the clothes are bold and bright. Belly dancers wear a lot of vivid reds, blues, greens and yellows and accent their clothes with large pieces of jewelry, along with belts and sandals and scarves.
If you have never considered trying belly dancing, now is the time to start. And don’t forget to pick up some of the gorgeous belly dancing clothes that are available. You will be surprised how much the clothes add to the thrill of learning this beautiful art form.
