What is Belly Motions Belly Dance Fitness?
Belly Motions Belly Dance Fitness (we’ll call it Belly Motions BDFit for simplicity!) is the concept of taking authentic Middle Eastern dance movements and music into a group exercise setting for the purpose of delivering a physical workout. Everyday people can experience this ancient and exotic dance for fun and fitness. No previous dance training, extreme flexibility or any other prerequisites required! The goal of a Belly Motions BDFit class is to share the benefits of belly dancing in a dance-fitness format.
How does the Belly Motions format compare to others?
The Belly Motions BDFit format is similar to other dance-fitness formats, such as Zumba®, in that it uses dance movements, simple choreographies and motivating music to deliver a fun and physically beneficial workout. Classes are 55-60 minutes in length and include a warm up, body and cool-down with stretch.
The Belly Motions BDFit format differs from other dance-fitness formats in that it is low-impact, making it safe and accessible to many populations, features exotic movements derived from the Middle East, bringing a unique and attractive appeal, and is taught barefoot, giving it an earthy feel.
In general, most Belly Dance classes taught at dance schools and studios tend to have little fitness application and primarily center around teaching the art of Middle Eastern Dance. These classes focus on technique, musicality, culture and stylization which lead to performance troupes, dance companies and theater shows. They are often taught in weekly sessions, teach complex choreographies, spend time perfecting technique and preparing for the stage. These classes offer amazing opportunities for participants pursuing this type of training; however, they are not ideal for the average “drop-in”, non-dancer participant seeking to experience Belly Dance for exercise.
The Belly Motions BDFit format provides a structured experience in a group exercise setting with the intention of delivering a physical workout while introducing basic Belly Dance technique and easy-to-follow choreographies for fun and fitness.
What is the Belly Motions BDFit Instructor Training Program?
The Belly Motions Belly Dance Fitness Instructor Training Course is a nationally recognized dance-fitness course approved by the Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) the leading certifier of fitness professionals since 1983. The training course is designed to teach group exercise instructors, professional dancers and belly dance enthusiasts how to fuse authentic Belly Dance movements and music with fitness principles and guidelines to create a fun, safe and effective workout. Upon completion, this course offers 12 CEU’s to AFAA Certified Instructors.
Who should take this training?
Whether you are just starting your dance-fitness journey, or you are an experienced pro; this training will take you to the next level and is an excellent option for:
– Group Fitness Instructors vested in expanding their class format offerings.
– Current Belly Dance Instructors looking to teach in a fitness setting.

Group Fitness Instructors certified by AFAA will earn 12 AFAA Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) upon completion,
