You don't have to know how to dance to do Bellyfit. The whole point of Bellyfit is to offer the many benefits of Holistic Fitness to women of all walks of life, all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels who are not dancers, but who want to reap the many health benefits available through the movement and the music.
What do you need to make your Bellyfit experience the best possible?
Shoes please - Bellyfit is designed to be a 'shoes on' experience for the first half and 'shoes off' for the second half. You will find that your joints have more support, your ankles have more support and your feet can pivot freely.
Clothes - Whatever you wear to any other fitness or dance class will be fine. Natural breathable fabrics are best. And support for the chest is always great especially if you like to add a bounce to your step. And a hip scarf if you want.
Water - You will most likely sweat during the your Bellyfit class. Please stay hydrated and drink when you need to. You will be able to concentrate better and your cells will have the fuel they need to do the jobs they need to do.
Yoga Mat - Many facilities have mats available, but if you have your own please bring if you can. It is always nice to have your own mat.
