Belly dance arises from an Eastern ethos of feeling, improvisation, and joy. However, it's hard for Western dancers to embody these principles, steeped as we are in an aesthetic of appearance, choreography, and spectacle. Yet there are surprising benefits to embracing the Eastern way, from health to happiness. This book shows you how.
