We have all seen a Belly Dancer at some point in our life; even if just a photo or a clip in a movie. Can you for a second go back to that moment? Do you remember anything about your thought? Do you recall having a quick judgement?
You certainly are not alone. It seems to be the natural response for many to quickly think of Belly Dancing as something mysterious and forbidden, and seeing a Belly Dancer for the first time is definitely very thought-provoking.
A Middle Eastern Dancer in costume is the epitome of provocative; with her intense makeup, the beautiful fabrics, the beads and coins and make sounds that stir your soul... She seems to be telling a story using the skilled movements of her body and the music helps you feel what the story is about. But watching her you feel as if there is something else, and you don't know what it is, right? She seems to have a secret right there- behind her eyes. Does she have a secret?
Belly Dancing is about "Woman". Belly Dancing is about expression and creativity; it is about entertainment; it is social; it is mysterious and ignites a sense of wonderment...
Who becomes a Belly Dancer? There is not one "kind of woman". Belly Dancing is for any one; any age; any body type; any background. Please do not allow yourself to feel any different about this one point. Do you love to dance? Do you want to dance? Then-Let's Dance!
If you have ever been curious, then forget any thoughts you may have had in the past about Belly Dancing, and forget about what anyone else will think. Look in the phone book under dancing- schools, instructors, classes... and call them up and ask about Belly Dancing.
Pretty sure there is no one in your area to teach? Just look in to it- she may be closer than you think. If you have never given it much thought, you just may not have noticed. (She could be living right next door to you...)
Are you thinking that it's impossible for you to move your body like that? Well, thats normal, but this where a teacher and classes will benefit you- to make the seemingly impossible become real. You will start at the beginning and learn basic belly dancing movements. Then you learn more movements; and then you start learning to put the moves together into combinations. And pretty soon your body is waking up and you begin expressing yourself with the music, with your own unique style and grace.
Sometimes it is true there is no one in the area to teach Belly Dancing. Not to worry... there are still many resources available. There are videos on YouTube and other media sites. There's the local library. There are bookstores that carry DVD's and Music. There is even a TV show now: Shimmy.
If you really want to try this, it can be done. Find a friend and get an instructional Belly Dance Video for Beginners and do it together. It will make you feel great and the physical benefit of Belly Dancing is incredible. Belly Dancing is a fantastic way to lose some weight, get into shape, or to just feel good.
Try Belly Dancing. Do something for Your Self. Move from Curious Thought to Serious Fun!
