BELLY DANCING LESSONS
For auction: One class card for 8 belly dancing lessons each
Value: $50
Also called “raks sharki,” belly dancing is an ancient form of art and exercise.
Working with the natural flow of the female body, belly dancing is known both for
its sensuousness and health benefits. The movements of hip drops, circles, figure
eights and shimmies puts the body through a full range of gentle repetitive motion
that tones muscles, improves flexibility, prevents lower back problems, relieves
stress, and even burns 300 calories an hour. Let the ladies of Barika Belly Dance
teach you the right way to shake that tush.

BELLY DANCING LESSONS
For auction: One class card for 8 belly dancing lessons each
Value: $50
Also called “raks sharki,” belly dancing is an ancient form of art and exercise.
Working with the natural flow of the female body, belly dancing is known both for
its sensuousness and health benefits. The movements of hip drops, circles, figure
eights and shimmies puts the body through a full range of gentle repetitive motion
that tones muscles, improves flexibility, prevents lower back problems, relieves
stress, and even burns 300 calories an hour. Let the ladies of Barika Belly Dance
teach you the right way to shake that tush.
