Jaxen & Cecilia

Mention the word bachata or zouk in Malaysia and their names are the first to
appear on everyone's lips. Despite being Malaysia's 2005 Salsa Champion, Jaxen
has carved his journey into becoming Malaysia's most recognized bachata and zouk instructor; having been invited to teach and perform in festivals in Malaysia and also in other countries such as Australia and Indonesia. Jaxen has been teaching salsa in Malaysia for about 4 years and has been dancing since 2002. In 2006, he formed Rhythm Identity.

Jaxen & Cecilia has been partners for about 2 years and together they have been
the revolutionary pioneers behind the growth and advancement of the bachata and
zouk scene in Malaysia. They have travelled around the world and have learnt
from some of the most recognized names in the dance industry. They brought into
Malaysia the Bachata Moderna style; a more advanced yet simplistic style of
bachata which focuses a lot on footwork variations with crosses of the feet as well
as modernizing traditional moves to give it more flavour and style yet still
maintaining the sensuality and cheekiness of bachata.

The two of them have also helped grow zouk in Malaysia, turning it from an
unheard of dance into a name which is now mentioned by nearly everyone in the
dance scene. The two of them have been featured on Malaysian national TV as
well as in Malaysia's premier dance magazine Just Dance for their passion and
effort in the promotion of zouk.

Harry & Evelyn

Both of these talented dancers are from the latin ballroom background, once unheard of in the salsa dance scene but they exploded into it by being crowned as the Malaysian Bachata Champion 2010 in the KLDA Rising Star Salsa & Bachata
Championship.

Evelyn is one of Rhythm Identity's instructor specializing
mainly in bachata. Other then her recent championship victory, she also took home the 1st runner-up position in the 2009 Singapore's En La Passion Bachata Competition. Despite being one of Malaysia's hottest new bachata dance sensation, Evelyn is also a qualified Bollywood dance instructor. Her dance
knowledge expands over to latin, ballroom, modern dance, hip hop, line dance and of course salsa and zouk.

Harry was once a latin ballroom instructor but had found a new passion in the street/social latin dances instead.

Why You Need Aerobic Exercise !!

2010-06-09T20:07:00.000-07:00

Why You Need Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise is good for your heart. Learn about the latest aerobic exercise guidelines and the health benefits of aerobic exercise.

The most recent guidelines from the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend 30 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise five days a week or 20 minutes of high intensity aerobic exercise three days a week to maintain good health and reduce your risk of chronic disease. For aerobic workouts, 60 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate is generally the zone you should reach and sustain to get the most benefits.

"Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death in America. Associated with physical inactivity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking, cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately 36 percent of all U.S. deaths," notes Dan G. Tripps, PhD, director of Swedish Medical Center Cardiology Performance Services and Seattle University Center for the Study of Sports and Exercise. "There is, however, a remarkably easy remedy. Physical activity continues to be the most effective way to combat coronary heart disease. Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of the heart and lungs. Yet surveys show that nearly one-third of Americans are not active at all despite these benefits."

The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise

If you have yet to embrace an active lifestyle, take note of these other perks of aerobic exercise:

* Mental benefits. "Aerobic exercise has been shown to increase your confidence, emotional stability, memory, and brain function," notes Tripps. Studies show that about 19 million Americans experience depression every year. It is widely accepted that aerobic exercise improves the symptoms of depression.

* Health benefits. Besides strengthening your heart and lungs, aerobic exercise can help lower your cholesterol, reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, improve your immune function, and lower your blood pressure.

* Physical benefits. Aerobic exercise burns up calories, which can in turn help you shed excess weight. Aerobic exercise also tones your muscles and improves posture.

* Fitness benefits. In addition to looking better and being healthier, aerobic exercise increases your stamina, giving you more energy for both work and play. You will sleep better and handle stress better, and you’ll feel better about yourself.

Getting Started With Aerobic Exercise

Now that you are aware of all the reasons aerobic exercise should be part of your healthy lifestyle, how about getting started? Before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have health issues, talk to your doctor. Choose activities that you enjoy. Walking, biking, hiking, dancing, even raking leaves can supply aerobic exercise. Here are some tips to remember:

* As you get the recommended 30 minutes of moderately intense aerobic exercise five days a week, you should be exercising at a level that just lets you keep up a conversation during the activity.

* If you’re healthy enough to exercise at a high intensity, make sure you’re not exceeding your target heart rate. You can find your target rate by subtracting your age from 220, then multiplying that number by 70 percent (70).

* Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your workouts.

* Include warm-up and cool-down periods in your aerobics exercise routines.

* Avoid high-intensity aerobic activity for one to two hours after eating.

* Skip your workouts when you’re ill or overtired.

Research shows that aerobic exercise is beneficial even if it’s done in shorter segments throughout the day. Even if you have a busy schedule, you can find time for several 10-minute periods of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
"Start with a lighter volume of aerobic exercise and gradually work your way toward some specific goals. Maintain a sensible nutrition program and keep exercise in perspective," Find a level of aerobic exercise that is safe and effective for you and make it something that you enjoy. To stay motivated, you can exercise with a friend, your spouse, or your children. Make aerobic exercise a regular part of a healthier lifestyle for you and your loved ones

History of Belly Dance

There has always been much fascination about the history of belly dance, or in the community of belly dancers, it is preferred to be referred to as the Middle Eastern Dance or Raks Sharki (the Oriental Dance in Arabic). The origin is fiercely debated as there are no concrete evidences that support on the claims made. However, many believed that belly dance is one of the oldest dance-form dated back from as far as the fourteenth century BC where evidence of the dance are shown at the Egyptian tomb paintings and at the Persian miniature paintings from the 12th and 13th century that resemble partially clad dancers whose callisthenic positions appear to be similar to those used in belly dancing.

To many, belly dance is an ancient dance that was performed by women for women only. It was danced as part of celebration to celebrate fertility, birthing and temple rituals. Women in the olden day’s belly dance to goddess worship rituals to seek safe and smooth birthing since there wasn’t much proper medication available at that time. Some request for a gift of life. It is also believed that the wave-like movements of the belly called the undulation in belly dance terminology were used by women to help easing the birth delivery. The dance was meant for both family and social gatherings. It is passed down from mother to daughter in generations. A girl’s first performance for other women was considered as her rite of passage to womanhood.

In Arabic, the folk dance that mothered the belly dance is known as Raks Baladi. Raks meaning dance and Baladi means country. Raks Baladi is indigenous to North Africa, the Middle East and as far as Iran. However, it was Egypt that has predominantly publicized and influenced the dance. The god-mother of belly dance was Badia Masabni who owned a night club in Cairo. Badia is known to have transformed Raks Baladi into Raks Sharki (Oriental Dance) as it is known nowadays. She had trained some of the most famous belly dancers like Samia Gamal and Tahiya Carioca with ballet and jazz classes, incorporate graceful arms movements and set a stage for the dance. Her belly dance shows attracted both Middle Eastern and European audiences that were visiting Egypt in bigger and bigger numbers at that time. She had also pioneered the use of choreography and added props like veils into the dance.

It was during this time, the costuming of belly dance went into a drastic change, from the long conservative dress or skirt with a scarf accentuating the hips to beaded two piece sequin costumes majorly influenced by the Hollywood movies and European cabarets. With the booming of the Egyptian Film Industry, Raks Sharki reached a level previously impossible and belly dance stars were born that remain legendary until today.

However, due to economic, political and religious climate in Eygpt, the Raks Sharki is slowly making its decline. A law was passed in 2003 which prohibits foreign dancers from obtaining work permits, causing even deeper decline in public performance. Even though, the law has been reversed a year later, the damaged has been made.

The dance however is flourishing elsewhere, especially Turkey and Lebanon. Outside of the Middle East, more dancers are picking up the dance. We can see that belly dance is being danced everywhere in the world. The Americans has structured the dance into something that can be taught in classrooms and started the trend of formal training and workshops for the dance, as what we have seen nowadays.

Benefits of Belly Dance

Belly dance is safe - Belly dance in its purest form is the most body-friendly dance. Their movements are gentle and natural to the body, working with it instead of against it making it a dance for everyone, no matter what dance background or body shape you have.
Low impact exercise – belly dance is low impact. It helps increases blood circulation in the body, elevates the heart rate and is effective for weight maintenance and rehabilitation.
Arm exercise – snake arms in belly dance provides effective toning to the arms. Practicing the arm requires dedication and effort to move the arms gracefully and naturally.
Relieves back pain – when belly dancing is done properly, it helps to massage the back gently with the rocking of the pelvis providing relief to the back.
Preparation for childbirth – belly dance provides an excellent prenatal exercise repertoire that helps strengthens the muscles used in child delivery. The pelvis rocking and the abdominal wave-like movements taught in belly dance are natural movements which ease the birthing process. Mothers that belly dance are also known to get in shape quickly after giving birth.
Reduces stress– with the stressful daily life, belly dance provides means to release stress from work and home. Belly dance provides a sanctuary for women to just “let go” and enjoy themselves and just be a woman!
Improve digestion – Belly rolls, hip sways that utilizes the abdomen muscles helps food movement in the digestive system.
Boost self-confidence – belly dance helps women to get in touch with their femininity, inner feeling, be happy with who they are and be proud of their own body. It is always nice to see new dancers feeling more confident and beautiful after they have started belly dance for a period of time.
