Would you like to explore healing through dance yourself? Here are some suggestions on how to get started:
Talk To Your Health Care Provider. First, ask your doctor or other health care provider whether there are any medical reasons you should not pursue dance at this time. This is particularly important if you plan to use dance as part of recovering from injury, surgery, or other physical condition. Find out whether your doctor believes belly dancing is safe for your particular situation.
