Belly Dance Program
All Belly Dance sessions comprised 5 phases: 1) opening ritual (5 min), in which participants will be welcomed and perceived how people were feeling. 2) warm-up (15 min), in which thinking and feeling are integrated during the movements, isolating each part of the body according to Laban's body organization. 3) main phase (30 min), will be proposed individual, pair and group activities, in order to achieve the objectives planned. This phase will end with a choreography composition or a challenge; 4) cool-down (5 min) with stretching and physiological parameters normalization; and 5) ending ritual (5 min), in which the participants will be invented to share their sessions' experience.
