Belly Dancing The Sacred Shapes with The Goddess Dancing

Beginner Belly Dance Instructional Video

Available in DVD format

With music by Desert Wind

 

Here's what the critics are saying:

"I absolutely loved everything about this video, the concepts, the beautiful backdrop, visualizations and instruction."

    Mezdulene - owner/publisher/editor of Jareeda: The International Magazine for Middle Eastern Dance


  "AND THIS DVD OF THE GODDESS DANCING REPRESENTS A GOOD BALANCE OF IT ALL-- FINDING THE EVER CHANGING SHAPES AND COLORS--"

      ~ Za-Beth - Belly dancer, belly dance events promoter & owner of Za-Beth's Magic CarpetNew England representative for The Belly Dance Superstars.


"This is a beautifully-presented video that avoids all the glamour stereotypes of belly dancing and instead focuses on belly dance as an activity that a woman can do simply for personal enjoyment or social time with friends. The instructors have "real women" figures, and they serve well as role models for being at peace with one's body. Although the goddess theme is present in the warm-up and "follow me" choreography at the end, it is offered in a way the viewer can choose to interpret as merely myth or as something more spiritual."

 ~  Shira - owner of The Art of Middle Eastern Dance website


"This fun-filled video is delightful to watch simply as entertainment.  At the same time, it is a well-organized, easy to follow, and intense course in the art of bellydancing."

    ~Brita Adkinson - New Age Retailer


"What a wonderful gift that THE GODDESS DANCING has given us, ... with which we can begin to explore both our sacred and sensual roots in the privacy of our own homes!  Imagine a group of women friends gathering together, using this video as their guide, dancing goddess imageries which express our inner truths and journeys! Imagine what might come of loving ourselves and each other in this powerful way!"

    ~  Mariah Williams - Integrative Bodywork Practitioner, Peace and Healing Bodyworks. Unity, ME


 

Mission Statement

We believe that belly dance can heal, transform, and empower humanity and our planet.  Our work is deeply rooted in these beliefs.  We teach by honoring The Divine Feminine in us all.  We create dances which enact myths, tell stories, and celebrate women.  We recognize that belly dance has its origins as a birth dance and restore it to its rightful place in this sacred process.

 

Biography

The Goddess Dancing is a group of master belly dance teachers dedicated to empowering people through the dance. Using their combined experience of over 30 years in teaching belly dance locally and internationally, they have developed the much sought after and often copied Sacred Shapes™ of belly dance.  Their unique curriculum elevates belly dance to a global dance form while grounding it in our common matriarchal lineage.  Their work shows an unprecedented understanding of its origins. Their method of teaching belly dance incorporates technique, meditation, guided visualization, affirmations, and goddess imagery.  They have taught thousands of students and have been running ongoing classes in Boston since 1991.  Many of their students have gone on to become belly dance teachers themselves or have become certified in The Goddess Dancing Teaching Method™.  They have run master belly dance classes for Boston University, the American College of Dance Festival and for the FleetBoston Celebrity Series: Dance Across the City They have developed belly dance into a ritual art bringing myths and stories to audiences of all kinds and are a much sought after performance group having collaborated with artists including Deborah Rose, Faith Lucozzi, Moncia Veneziano, Sam Laundon, Jill Solomon, and Jeffrey Fiske In addition, they are dedicated to returning belly dance to the birthing community to take its rightful place among the tools a woman can use to reclaim her pregnancy and birth process.  For a full biography please visit About TGD.
