Many people have discovered the health benefits of Bellydancing. Besides providing a fun, low-impact workout, Bellydance strengthens and tones the entire body while developing balance, coordination and posture. 
Bellydancing also improves flexibility of the hips and back as well as increases core strength.                                    
Back and joints pains are relieved During Bellydancing, the movements of hipdrops, circles, figure eights, and shimmies put the joints and ligaments in the lower back and hip through a full range of gentle, repetitive motion. This movement helps increase the flow of synovial fluid (nature's lubricant) in these joints. When movements are done properly, the pelvis is tipped forward, or tucked ; a neutral position that can help prevent lower back problems. Bellydance can help relieve stress to the back, counteracting the almost constant compression of the disks that occurs from a sedentary lifestyle.                                                                                  
Bone density increases Because a woman is on her feet, moving, during  Bellydancing it is considered a weight-bearing exercise.Weight-bearing exercises strengthen bones.                                                                                         
Bellydancing is a low impact form of exercise The graceful hipdrops, rolls, and pivots of Bellydancing utilize muscle groups in the abdomen, pelvis, trunk, spine, and neck, working with the body instead of against it.
Bellydancing is based on movements that come naturally to the female form. Benefits of Bellydancing can be enjoyed by women of all ages.

Bellydancing boosts self-esteem The movements are artistic and feminine, creating a positive feeling of sensual expression and freedom. With sensuality being a desirable quality of Bellydancing, the dancer feels safe to explore the soft, beautiful ways the body can move. In the act of dancing with sensuality, the dancer frees herself in physical and emotional ways. The body, which becomes increasingly supple and graceful through practicing the dance, literally learns to move more beautifully. Dancers feel a heightened sense of elegance and poise when they dance, and this delightful confidence remains long after the class or performance is finished. The body awareness that comes from Bellydancing often triggers an emotional response. Women with low self-image begin to honour their bodies. Previously weight conscious participants relax and become comfortable with their shape.
