About LOTUS ROAD
The LOTUS flower is an emblem that connects East and West. It is seen all through and beyond the Silk ROAD, covering the vast regions from the Far East to North Africa. Across different cultures, it symbolizes enlightenment (non-attachment), fertility, and beauty. Notably, the LOTUS is the flower representing Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of wealth, prosperity, light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage. She is the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. She is the quintessential WOMAN.
LOTUS ROAD DANCE is a place where people from all ROADS (paths) are welcome and take on a common ROAD (journey) through dance. Dance, along with music, is the universal language of expression.
Mission:
Embracing tradition and modernity, and unbound in convention, age, shape, or ethnicity... Raks Sharki (bellydance) is for everyone. Your rich life experiences speak through movement. Whether your plans are to just dance for yourself, for your friends, to have fun at a club, or to spread your wings at center stage... free your soul and let your creativity soar. It's not just dance. It's a community - a place to nurture the body and mind. The only things that bind us are crystals, sequins, shiny coins, fringe, and anything pretty and shiny. Raks rocks!

Dancing with the veil is an important element in oriental style bellydance. Along with the finger cymbals, it is one of the most important and commonly used dance props. It is an excellent learning tool to work the arms and further develop grace, and to capture the powerfully feminine yet ethereal essence of oriental dance.

Limited number of veils will be provided.
