What is Belly Dancing?

Belly dancing is a form of expressive dance that originated in the Middle East. It involves complex movements of the torso and is known for its fluidity and grace. Belly dancing is not only a performance art but also a fun and engaging way to exercise, helping to improve flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Convert weight to kilograms:

\[ \text{Weight in kg} = \frac{150}{2.2} \approx 68.18 \text{ kg} \]

Step 2: Use the calories burned calculation formula:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \left( \frac{150 \times 3.0}{2.2} \right) \times \left( \frac{60}{60} \right) \]

Step 3: Simplify and calculate:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} \approx \left( \frac{450}{2.2} \right) \times 1 \approx 204.55 \text{ kcal} \]

The Calories Burned is approximately 204.55 kcal.
