Put on your dancing shoes,it's wedding time
   Indians weddings are well known for songs and dancing rituals.It is an intrinsic part of every wedding celebration in all communities and is full of joy and verve. For Christians, the pre-wedding ceremonies have a lot of folk dancing to traditional music and songs. Gracy Fernandes exclaims "Dancing is the epitome of our wedding celebrations."On the wedding day the reception begins with the 'Grand March'.It has a quick tempo that sets the mood and gets everyone ready to swing and shake a leg.In this form, the couple and the guest around in pairs.This is followed by the wedding couples first Waltz together and they are then joined by family and friends.Ballroom dancing continues througout the evening and winds up with lively free style folk dancing. Framroz Ghaswala, a Parsi from Mumbai informs.  "Today,even Parsis are dancing at their wedding receptions.There was no dancing in the past, but it's a recent trend and is catching up very fast." 
    Indian folk dancing have dominated Christian,Hindu,Muslim,Sikh and other religions.Functions like haldi, mehendi,sangeet,baraat and of course the main wedding celebrations.There is a lot of raas-garba in gujarat and bhangra in punjab. Elijash Gadkar says,"In Jewish weddings, we dance to English,Hindi and Hebrew songs." Indian weddings now have foot stomping Bollywood dancing.Film director Carlos D'silva explains,"We are Bollywood centric country and it has become part of our ethos. Bollywood dancing is popular because it is not formal and does not involve any rigid rules.Even little children can join in. It is not complicated and you do not need any training like ballroom dancing.In fact,many western countries now incorporate Bollywood dancing at their wedding receptions as a novelty."
     The big fat Indian wedding is getting bigger and dance sequences today are choreographed by professionals.Many Indian couples now prefer a white wedding reception and ballroom dancing has swayed its way into the Indian wedding scenario.Dancer and choreographer Sandip Saporrkar informs,"Families today want to make the event a grand and memorable affair.The maximum preparation is for the sangeet or the wedding day dance.Couples-to-be,their families and friends want to study the authentic styles of dancing and perfect their moves.The most popular dance for the newly-weds is the Waltz and Rumba,and now even Tango i catching up.For the family,there is Cha Cha Cha,Samba,Jive and more.Some prefer ballroom dancing to bollywood music and some like to keep it traditional."

      The cherry on the cake is very sensuous and interesting trend.Belly dancer Ritambhara Sahni says, Belly Dancing is now extremely popular and is recognized as an art form.Many brides want to give their husbands a surprise on their wedding night;or girls want to perform Belly Dancing at the wedding of their friends."Well, since the dance floor is getting hotter, put on your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to the rhythm of the night.

Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni - Belly Dance Belts, Costumes, Props....

Belly Dance a Dream a come true in every way at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni.

So, not only to learn belly dancing is a dream but to dress up like a Belly Dancer too. And of course if you are ready with your belly dancing belt, costume and necessary props then why not perform :) says Ritambhara Sahni and her students at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai.

 Today we talk about 2 Types of Belly Dance Belts that look great to Perform according to me - Ritambhara Sahni..and the inputs from my belly dance teachers and gurus.

 When we perform on stage, the music is so loud that the effect of belly dancing cannot be felt by the noise of the belly dancing belt / hip scarf but by the effect it creates or how the belt appears on the costumes. We will be talking about Belly Dance Belts, Scarves , Costumes and Props in our following posts to come as well but today we are going to talk about 2 belly dancing belts that create a great effect when you perform. 


Belly Dance Belts - Coin Belts

Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni - Belly dance Belts Mumbai
Belly Dance Belts at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni


These belts hardly make the noise which makes you feel good while learning as that makes you connect with the beautiful dance art. However these coin belts look great on costumes and create some amount of jingle as well. They are usually available in Gold and Silver coins. And just that metal belly dance belt on any color of the costume will make the costume and the color stand out.  We at belly dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni recommend that these coin belts should not be worn to learn as they do not let you connect with the dance art as they make very little noise on the shimmy and other techniques but are great on costumes.We believe that when your belly dance belts make noise , you connect more with the dance art. This is our belief .

Belly Dance Belts - Fringe Belts

Belly dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni belly dancing belts Mumbai
Belly Dancing Belts at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni


 Fringe Belly Dance Belts look Beautiful on casual wear and costume wear but do not make any noise. The effect they create when you move is amazing to the eyes of the audience. A great belly dance belt to be worn on stage to perform as the effect looks bewildering. The effect they create when you turn and sway your hips left and right is just amazing. These belly dance belts - fringe belts are available in gold and silver metal. Again we at belly dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni recommend that you do not wear this to learn but definitely use this belly dance belt to perform because it makes no noise and i , Ritambhara Sahni believe that the noise of the belly dancing belt helps you to connect with the dance art. Have felt and learnt this from my belly dance teachers as well.




Found this video on various type of Coin belts - Must watch

Its not easy to shimmy and shake like Shakira especially for an accomplished Bharatnatyam dancer, Discarding Abhinaya and mudra theatre and voice artist Jyoti Sharma , 62, is learning to sway her body to Arabian music at Ritambhara Sahni's Belly Dance Institute Mumbai.

Jyoti Sharma , [Senior Citizen] has chosen a path more unconventional and found her happiness in belly dancing at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni.


Jyoti Sharma's review / testimonial on belly dance Institute Mumbai and Ritambhara Sahni

I am 65 years old and had come to a stage in my life where I had become lonely and depressed. I once saw a newspaper write up in the Times of India - Bombay Times about Ritambhara Sahni's belly dance classes in Mumbai. It definitely got me connected as I use to be a bharatnatyam dancer once upon a time. I decided to join Ritambhara Sahni's belly dance classes in Mumbai despite all the apprehensions I had about my age and other low self esteem issues that had become a part of my life because of my age. After joining belly dance institute Mumbai , all I can say is that I have got a new life. I am addicted to this dance form like a school child and I work at it daily and maybe all the time. Also i have gotten very attached to my belt dance belt. Its just always there with me in my handbag if i am out and at home i wear my belly dancing belt simply almost all the time to practice my moves and choreography. i feel these belly dance belts motivate you in a very natural way to belly dance all the more than you want to.Belly Dancing Belts add the magic to belly dance. Ritambhara Sahni mam -  with her motivation and patience as a teacher has made me feel young all over again and I am an extremely happy person today. I would definitely say this all ladies out there that age is just a number, You would not think about your age if you start belly dancing as belly dance makes you feel what you wish to feel and I agree with Ritambhara Sahani-as she always says ' belly dance makes a girl feel like a woman and a woman feel like a girl'

BELLY DANCE – RITAMBHARA SAHNI’S CHILDHOOD DREAM – CREATOR AT BELLY DANCE INSTITUTE MUMBAI BY RITAMBHARA SAHNI



Ritambhara Sahni – in her words…


Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni

Ritambhara Sahni's belly dance
RITAMBHARA SAHNI




My mom and brother use to love watching James Bond movies. Old ones, very old ones, new ones…Me and my family saw almost all of them in my childhood days. I use to dance and perform from my very early childhood days..not belly dance but all other dance forms like Jazz, Old school Hip Hop, etc.

‘From Russia With Love’ – I’m sure some of you’ll reading this must have either seen this James Bond classic or heard of it at least. Well, if not It’s a MUST WATCH as it’s in exactly this movie that I saw BELLY DANCING for the 1st time in my life and I went crazy. So yes it’s a must watch for that BELLY DANCE SCENE :)..  IT’S EXACTLY AT THIS POINT OF MY LIFE THAT LEARNING BELLY DANCING BECAME MY DREAM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrsRapiOMn0
[here is the link to the scene i am talking about ]

I use to try really hard in front of the mirror to imitate the belly dancer from the movie scene but never really achieved all the moves. My roots in old school Hip Hop helped me crack some of the moves but not all. I had achieved a lot in almost all other free style dance forms but this surly was a mystery. Trying hard to belly dance and look like these dancers was making me insane. Some of the moves had become an unachievable dream. Because of academics could not travel abroad for a long long time.

And finally one day I saw this beautiful mesmerizing pop singer belly dancing to her song ‘ WHEREVER WHENEVER’ and I went crazy all over again. I totally give Shakira the credit to not only popularize belly dancing all over the world but also to change a lot of viewpoint about belly dancing which is there in this blog if you click on the this link. 


  Yes, Shakira got me insane to learn the art of belly dancing. I realized that there is and could be so much more to belly dancing than what I saw in Shakira’s video. Managing some moves was a piece of cake for me because of my strong roots in popping and locking and old school Hip Hop but not all. I wanted to and had to explore more in this beautiful dance art of belly dancing. I was teaching and running my Institute Ritambhara Sahni’s Institute For The Performing Arts [ RSIPA] at this point and time of my life which taught many free style dance forms. My students all over my centers across Mumbai also kept asking me to teach them belly dance. So as soon as I got the opportunity I travelled abroad to fulfill my childhood dream.


Learning belly dancing at various places all over the world was a beautiful experience which I cherished and can never forget. I also realized that I was so so right that belly dancing and popping and locking have so many similar elements. Some moves that I could not figure out had a different concept of doing from what they really appear and of course were easy to do.

Must admit that being a dancer and a professional dance instructor, Performer and choreographer back then in Mumbai, I learnt and mastered the art of belly dancing and its various props and fusions quite fast. Back then in 2001-2002 no one really taught belly dance In India forget Mumbai. But I still dint start to teach this dance form in Mumbai. I taught a few students a few moves and choreography’s doing belly dance workshops as I still felt I had so much to explore in this dance form. So I kept travelling abroad to explore each and every prop, fusion, style and every aspect of this dance art.

I finally launched Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni in 2005 and my dream to not only learn, learn more n more, to teach , to perform , to choreograph, to create performers , to help people make a career in this beautiful dance art has been going strong ever since and I’m not going to stop. My dream is to keep learning belly dance and other dance forms, keep teaching , help my students create a career as belly dance performing artist, help them start their own institute, help them as belly dance choreographers and whatever they wish to achieve in this dance from.

YES – BELLY DANCE HAS BEEN MY DREAM, I'M LIVING MY DREAM AND WANT TO HELP MY STUDENTS ALSO LIVE THEIR DREAMS THAT THEY HAVE WITH THIS DANCE ART AND I AM STILL DREAMING. 

Belly dance for me is really a never ending dream and reality.
