Most of all, they want to dance, to move their bodies and souls, wanting to show this world another side of the beautiful art of belly dancing.Somnium strives to dedicating themselves to paying the proper respects to technique, education, values, and to show this world another side of the beautiful art of belly dancing.http://www.wix.com/somniumtribe/somnium
