Belly dance is a great way of work outBelly dance is a great way of work out. One can treat belly dance as a cardiovascular routine by selecting the right music and duration of time for a routine and remembering to use your arms and hands up, and above the heart, enough to get your heart rate up. A low impact approach to a belly dance workout is one in which a dancer keeps at least one foot on the ground at all times and omits any hopping or jumping moves. For a higher impact approach, one can increase workout by adding 9/8 hopping steps, dips, turns and some exuberant Middle East or Greek folk dance steps into the middle of the workout. This is a perfect way to keep you fit and reduce your weight
