I am going to just jump right in and add my specialty to this board.
To the very technicality of the definition of the word, Esoteric comes from the Greek word 'eso which means 'inner'.
Esoteric Bellydance is the art of dancing from the inner reaches of one's being and expressing one's essential nature. It is a spiritually based dance style that focuses on Inner individuality and Spiritual Self Development using sound and music {known as Sacred Sound} to establish a connection to the Universe {or your Divine influence}, and having an openness to fresh possibilities and new creativity.
The philosophy of this dance is to bring a sense of well being, balance and harmony to your life.
If you need to go to the doctor because you are sick, you will do so {in most cases}. SO why not spend the time to take care of yourself spiritually, and through dance? Being spiritual has nothing to do with being religious {as many of you may know}; it has a lot to do with finding's one purpose in life. This dance allows for creativity and openness to the higher powers that be {whatever you may call it} so that you can receive whatever it is you need for this life.
Bellydance allows the use of the whole body, not just the limbs {like in ballet}, and not in random sequences {like in Modern}. Each movement already has a meaning to it {some are new} and when the power behind it is activated through the use of sound and music, you can only imagine the affects it will not only have on the dancer but on the audience as well.
Sound and Music: using the vibrational frequencies from the sound for each chakra, will activate the frequencies of your chakras, clearing out energy blockages, making way for a clearer connection to the Divine. In using it for this dance, once you have this clear connection, the increase in energy is a wonderful experience. You then use this to dance, or to manifest your intent into reality.
This is what I do on a daily basis, and in the process of trying to teach it to others.
When I have a website up with a video link I will of course let you all know...
