Basic introduction of belly dance
Turkey calls belly dancing Gobek dans. Belly dance originated in Egypt. At first, it was just a dirty dance and could only be performed on some small occasions. At the World Expo held in Chicago from 65438 to 0893, when the first Middle Eastern belly dancer from Egypt performed in midway plaisance, it caused an uproar and became a hot topic of controversy at that time, but in the end, belly dancing quickly became popular in the United States. It opened Americans' eyes, so the Americans translated the French Danse Du ventre (literally translated as "belly dance") into "belly dance". This kind of dance often appears in musical comedies on Broadway. Belly dance went to the world through the World Expo, and its exquisite costumes, fancy hip movements and sexy and charming gestures swept the world. Half a century later, in the six years since its establishment, BDSS dancers have toured more than 65,438+000 countries in Europe, Africa, America and Asia all the year round.

Matters needing attention in belly dancing
First, as a form of dance, we should try to get rid of the shy mentality in belly dancing. Even if the rhythm is not strong, or there is a "swimming ring" on your stomach, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Otherwise, your body will be stiff because you can't let it go, which will not only fail to achieve the effect of fitness, but also hurt your self-confidence.
Second, belly dancing requires wearing loose and comfortable pants, barefoot or dance shoes, and wearing a waist chain is very important. You'd better wear it when practicing by yourself, which can enhance your confidence. Be sure to warm up carefully with the coach before class to prevent muscle strain and hernia (that is, abdominal pain).
Third, it is not advisable to take a bath within 1 hour after practice. Because after exercise, the skin sweats a lot, the pores expand, and the hot and cold stimulation is harmful to the body.
Fourthly, by promoting pelvic blood circulation, belly dancing has a certain effect on gynecological diseases such as irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. However, women should adjust the amount and intensity of exercise according to their own situation during menstruation, and try to avoid shaking their hips and other sports during excessive travel.
Fifth, before practice, the coach will communicate with the health of beginners. Transition if you have a waist injury. You need to consult a doctor first.
Sixth, the diet should be properly and reasonably coordinated, and crude fiber, cereals and fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten as much as possible. Avoid greasy, high-fat and high-sugar foods. Practice for 30-60 minutes before and after eating. It is best not to drink a lot of water before and during exercise. Because too much water will make the stomach swell and even cramp during exercise, which will increase the heart load. Drink more water after exercise. This can replenish water in time and promote detoxification.
Seventh, if it is three months after delivery, you can practice, and caesarean section takes half a year to practice. It depends on the body.
