People are usually seeking a different way to exercise, and at 11:30AM on Sunday in Hilton 404-405 instructor Alya Almee offered us a new idea. Belly dancing is an inexpensive way to tone the body and increase your cardio with just one tool – you.

This class combined isolation body movements with traveling steps set to music. Almee broke everything down so that novices could understand how to move, and to correct their body stance. After class, several people were hooked. It’s a convenient, work-friendly way to help stretch your body from prolonged sitting. You can even do several two-minute sessions throughout the day to build up your stamina and strength.

Never belly-danced? Try it. You may get your shimmy on.
