RITAMBHARA SAHNI - BELLY DANCE INSTITUTE MUMBAI - BELLY DANCE SHOW

BELLY DANCE - A CHILDHOOD DREAM 
TO LEARN AND PERFORM

It is definitely a dream to learn this beautiful dance art but its also always been my dream to perform this beautiful dance art which i did long ago. I also always dreamed  of making my students learn and perform which i full filled long long ago in my show HIP-NOSIS MUMBAI. My 1st show had 200 belly dance students who got together on one stage to create the fire Goddesses create.
Its exciting when i organise my event HIP-NOSIS MUMBAI which is a platform for so many of my students to perform. Have created a syllabus for them to learn how to choreograph their own  performance to eventually perform the same and to get them close to look like a professional belly dance artist.

The exciting part of a belly dance show is the costumes , the make up , the lights , the stage. You definitely do make a lot of friends and performances for so many students of mine has been life changing. Colours of the costumes take you into a different mood and world. Dressing up for the show is always a lot of fun.The practices are definitely the most fun part especially when you trying your best to co-ordinate in a group sequence. The feeling of everyone putting in the effort to co-ordinate for achieving the same goal is a magical experience.

News Article on Belly Dance By Ritambhara Sahni (Hindustan Times) Belly Dance Institute Mumbai By Ritambhara Sahni

All the credit apparently goes to the video of Shakira’s hit single Whenever, Wherever, where she is seen belly dancing to jungle beats. According to choreographer and dance instructor Ritambhara Sahni, who runs The Belly Dance Institute in Mumbai, the perception of the dance form got a much-needed boost due to the pop star. “It suddenly got accepted in India. Earlier, people looked down upon it. That image has changed now,” says Sahni.

On January 28, a show titled Hip-Nosis, The Ultimate Belly Dance Show of The Great Goddesses will bring together 200 young women from the city for a belly dancing performance. As part of it, they will move to Arabic, Egyptian and Bollywood beats.

Sahni, more importantly, is happy that the women who come to her institute, some of whom are investment bankers, journalists and even schoolteachers, don’t hesitate any more. “Belly dance is not akin to mujra
. The beauty lies in the way the dance is performed. It is a very sensuous form, which if presented well, looks sophisticated.”

She also dispels the myth that one needs to have a flat stomach to be able to do justice to the dance. “Any woman can do this irrespective of their shape or size. In their performance this weekend, the girls will also use props like veils, finger cymbals and swords for a balancing act.”


At the same time, Sahni insists that belly dancing also has many health benefits as it helps a woman emotionally, physically and mentally. She says, “For me, belly dancing is spiritual. It targets your
 core muscles and shapes you up. Not only do your stomach muscles get toned, it also works wonders for your curves.”

Review / Testimonial by Our student at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni

I have always been fond of dancing and it has always been something that I enjoyed. But after having my baby 5 years ago, there had been no opportunity to dance. Exercising has also fallen by the way-side… I decided that I needed to start doing something to get some exercise! My health was starting to suffer and my joints had started to hurt and my shoulders were sore . And So, it was with great anticipation and excitement that I joined up for the 3 months beginner's course in belly dancing hosted by  - Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai. A friend recommended me to join her institute and had great things to review about this belly dance class in Mumbai. She was at the Colaba center and i joint the belly dance class at their Bandra Khar center and would also practice at their Andheri center at times as we could do so without any extra payments which i truly appreciate. So, i would also love to write my testimonial as my experience with Ritambhara Sahni's belly dance institute Mumbai has become my dreams to dance and belly dance come true and now i am living my dream. 
I didn’t know what to expect and thought that as long as you knew how to shake your hips you were good to go… I could not have been more wrong! From the moment I tied the belly dance belt around my hips I was hooked! Belly dance itself fascinated me but so did the belly dancing belt so much always. I have realized that belly dance belts create a new and amazing experience to belly dance and belly dancing belts was my new addiction. However when i belly dance , i stick to the belly dance belt i have. I am now really attached to my belly dancing belt.  And the pain! Gosh, I could hardly walk for days after my first class! But Ritambhara Sahani mam has opened a whole new world to me and with every belly dance class and choreography that I saw her perform I was more and more inspired, intrigued and mesmerized!
Having completed my first ever performance in Ritambhara Sahni's belly dance show in Mumbai - Hip-nosis Mumbai with my beautiful class mates, it has also taught me that Belly Dancing is for all shapes and sizes and is a form of dance that celebrates being a woman. It has also vastly improved my self-esteem, confidence and self-image. All thanks to Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni , i now only dream like a belly dancer.

RITAMBHARA SAHNI'S ASPIRING STUDENT


Humming to Shakira's "Whenever Wherever" is a distant memory now, when I was in school. My eyes used to be glued to the screen when the video played on TV. Her moves mesmerized me, the ease with which she made her waist move like that, I was amazed every time I saw it. At that time Belly dancing classes were really difficult to find. I kept switching from Kathak to Bharatnatyam to Jive/Salsa. At the back of my mind I always felt like i had to and wanted to dance like Shakira that if only I could do what she does. I used to read articles which said that to get that sort of flexibility you have to minimize your salt intake. But well, living in India it's really not possible. So i used to copy her, at least tried to. I used to manage a step or two. Years went by and I soon started concentrating on other things. I graduated, I got placed & thus I shifted to Mumbai for job. I was living a professional life- getting up going to office returning home on a repeat mode, from Monday to Friday. Something was missing. Dance has always been something i enjoyed since childhood.




Having shifted to Mumbai, a city which is known to have everything


 I searched for  Belly Dance Classes in Mumbai. There came a number of classes to learn Belly Dancing. I opened the one which was topmost- Ritambhara Sahni Belly Dance Institute Mumbai. I contacted them & was immediately briefed about the course. The fact that there are so many levels through which I would get to learn so much thrilled me. I became very much interested in learning the art of Belly Dancing & so I went ahead to enroll.

I told my friends about it and they were like “wow” because Belly Dancing is definitely not something you can find everywhere. Fascinated by finally finding a learning institute, I just couldn’t wait for the classes to start. I started listening to Shakira again, reliving memories.


And then the day finally arrived. I was going to learn something I had dreamt of in my childhood. Entering the class I could hear the tinkling of coins. It was a very soothing sound. I could see a number of girls shimmying with a belly dance belt wrapped around their waist. The belly dance belts making that noise made me feel i was in a temple of Goddesses. They looked so pretty glittering in the light & clinking together with the moves. I was eager to try one of the belly dancing belts  and start swaying. The belly dancing belt had got me more curious and even more eager.

 I had enrolled in the beginner’s course, level 1,2 & 3. My first class was all that I had imagined it to be. Amazing choice of songs, the music just wants you to Belly Dance. The choreography was beautiful, perfect for a beginner. The dance in itself is refreshing. It’s like you have been introduced to a new you, a woman who feels so beautiful and more confident about her body. Ritambhara Sahni is professionally trained to know all the moves involved in belly dancing. As a woman the dance form enlightens you to see a better you & brings you closer to yourself  and of course the belly dance belts that i found in this belly dance class in Mumbai get you even closer to the art of belly dancing. Belly Dancing belts have made more addicted to belly dancing and i cannot imagine belly dancing without my belly dancing belt.

Having completed levels 1 & 2, I enrolled for the next levels as well. I had decided then on that I am going to go till the end. Learn all levels & as much as I could. By the time I reached advanced levels, I had become really good at Belly dancing. I picked up on every step quickly. The Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni also gives you an opportunity of becoming a trainer at their Institute. If given a chance I would definitely pursue teaching the dance form there.
