For those who are unfamiliar, belly dance<\/strong> is a dance form that dates back to ancient Middle Eastern and North African societies.\u00a0The term “belly dance” is actually a slight misnomer in that the dance usually involves the entire torso, with the hips being the main focus. The movements tend to be smooth and fluid with shimmies and staccato movements to mix\u00a0it up. The result is a dance that is quite feminine, very beautiful, and extremely fun to do!<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here are some of the best places to learn how to belly dance<\/strong> in Barcelona, before taking your moves onto the beach like Shakira herself:<\/p>\n
