Ladies in Glastonbury have a chance to discover the benefits of bellydance next week.
Middle Eastern Dance instructor Raheesha will be offering new students a free taster session when the Desert Divas Dance class restarts on Monday 14 May.
Raheesha said: "The benefits of belly dancing include increased stamina, flexibility and muscle tone, and, of course, it’s good all round exercise and helps to build confidence too. In some cases, it’s great for lower back stiffness and a lot of people swear it’s great for helping with ‘women’s problems’, too."
Raheesha says anyone can attend her classes, irrespective of their size or age, and there is no need to buy special clothing. Shawls are provide for those who don’t have one and dancing is done barefoot. The emphasis is on enjoying the dance as a form of relaxation and exercise, and benefiting physically, emotionally and mentally.
Classes are held at the Avalon Constitional Club in the High Street from 7.15pm-8.15pm.
