Bellydance is a
western term for a Middle Eastern dance genre.
Bellydancing is now popular worldwide and has taken on
many different regional forms, both in costume and dance
style.
Most of the movements in belly dancing involve
isolating different parts of the body like the hips,
shoulders, stomach, etc. (the most important part being
the hips). One of the most famous moves in belly dance
is the shimmy, a shimmering vibration of the hips.
Our family started to bellydance in
the early 80's. Our mother/grandmother, Carrol Buntin,
joined a class in Ketchikan, Alaska to get back into
shape after having 11 children! What started out as a
fun way to stay fit has turned into a family tradition. We now have over 16 belly dancers in our family...and
counting!!!
