Hip Bellydance Class adds Pilates For A Fun and Exotic Ab Workout

Like to learn some Pilates, but don't want to deal with attitude? Interested in belly dancing, but want a tougher workout? Want to try something different, but still get a great workout? Worried that you might get hurt wandering into just any old class? Want to move like Shakira or Nelly Furtado?

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 17, 2006 -- Learn how to integrate your deep ab muscles into everyday movements, keeping your back pain-free and your stomach flatter and tighter than ever. Melissa, creator of BellyCore belly dance and Pilates classes, brings you the basics of Pilates and belly dance this summer in a class designed to give you a deeper understanding of both disciplines.

Add some hip, stylish belly dancing to the class for a cardio boost and extra stomach work, and this class is guaranteed to kick your abs!

You’ll start out learning the basic principles of Pilates—breathing, lengthening, and stretching. Your body will stretch out and you’ll find muscles you never knew you had—and learn how to use them. Then, you’ll use what you just learned to move your body in intricate and glamorous ways as you learn the basic moves of bellydance. By the end of the class, you’ll feel stronger, longer, more graceful and glamorous—and well worked out!

The flexibility and spinal mobility of bellydance, blended with the strengthening and lengthening effects of Pilates, becomes a system that changes the way you think about your body. And as you change your thinking about your body, you become more flexible, more coordinated, and more balanced than you ever thought you could be.

So come see the difference for yourself. Don't worry about being intimidated by a flock of ballerinas—just come shake some booty with other fun people who want to look, feel, and move better.

The Deep Core BellyCore workshop will be held at CAP21, 18 W. 18th st, 6th floor, near Union Square, from 7-9 PM on Tuesday June 27th. Subways: N, R, Q, W, 4, 5, 6, L to Union Square, or 1, 2, 3 to 14th St. Regular classes restart in July. Pre-register for class and find out more info at www.bellycore.com.
