Bellydance - Tribal Fusion & Gothic
We are finally launching our bellydance workshops at Shaktigardens - I recently had a meeting with Alison, a Bellydance teacher who specialises in Tribal Fusion and Gothic bellydance.
We want to invite you to experience Tribal Fusion and Gothic Belly Dance. This is a wonderful blend of various styles, from Egyptian to Gypsy to Indian Belly Dance. The outfits even differ from what you are used to seeing in various restaurants and other venues in and around Johannesburg, out are the glitzy shiny materials that have made belly dance just another form of entertainment. In Tribal Fusion and Gothic you wear more earthy colours, the clothing is more creative and it becomes an expression of yourself. Also, the dance differs slightly, it is more open to interpretation, and there is more freedom of movement and expression. With "traditional" belly dance it is mainly the hips, thighs and belly - in Tribal Fusion and Gothic you learn to utilise the entire body. The arms play a big part in this. The upper body becomes more snake-like!
At Shaktigardens you will have the opportunity to experience the sensual aspects of bellydance - deeply rooted in the feminine divine, assisting you to get in touch with your hidden inner sensuality.
If you look at a Chakra chart, you will notice that the base Chakra is in the hips, and this reaches down the legs and into the feet, grounding the individual. By swivelling the hips you awaken dormant energies in this Chakra, this in turn begins to move upward and through the body entering the next Chakra, the Sacral, which resides in the belly. This is where you store your sensuality and sexuality. Soon this is awakened as the belly is used and excercised along with the hips. You will begin to feel energised as the base Chakra flows up through the Sacral and then upward through the body, activating the Chakra system.
What a wonderful combination, awakening the survival instinct, the sensual and then the loving!
No wonder women feel more feminine and sensual when doing belly dance, as these Chakras are re-energised, flow and connect.
It is planned that classes will be hosted on Saturdays - beginning in March!
