Thousands of
years old, this ceremonial and spiritual form of dance was created
by women to communicate with the divine feminine energies.
Also referred to
as the Dance of Life, women can express their innermost emotions
and feelings through movement with the music. In some
cultures, women perform belly dance movements in the 'Birth
Dance,' to prepare their bodies for childbirth.
