Sometimes we also throw in a little Egyptian folklore or other Arab folk dance for fun variety. \u00a0We focus on respecting the cultural history and context of these art forms.<\/p><p>We believe Bellydance is more than learning a series of movements. It&#8217;s about joy, musicality, expression, technique, cultural understanding and finding your own way of moving.<\/p><p><strong>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/duniyastudio.com\/?page_id=3079\">about Raqs Sharqi and Duniya classes<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2><strong>Why Dance with Duniya?<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Experience You Can Trust &amp;
