Belly Dancing is a very specialised form of dance that has become increasingly popular in recent years as a way of keeping fit. Today, in the 2nd of our nine-part series called "Fitness for All," we meet a man who has inspired a new generation of belly dancers here in China.

What you are looking at was a first for Beijing. A gala dance performance featuring only belly dancers. The showcase brought the age old art to a new audience but it wasn't just any belly dancing performance.

You could match up the talent at the show against any top belly dancing show, with some of the biggest names in the world all gathering for the gala.

Jonas Gilbart said, "The super stars of the belly dancing is bringing some of the biggest names in the sport to Beijing. And one of those stars is home growing star. But this belly dancer is sharttering the mode what many people think what belly dancer should be. And also inspired new generation right here. "

Guo Wei said, "My feelings now? I can't say I am not nervous, but I will try my best to make the show successful. Because this is China's first special belly dancing show. I feel very excited."
