Bellydance is a celebration of womanhood. It is a dance form that is
challenging to learn and mastery comes with patience and tenure.
One wonderful aspect of bellydance is that it is a very "individualistic"
dance form. In the course of your study, and as you internalize the
movements and understand the concepts behind them, you develop
your own unique style and it becomes a blueprint for your
interpretation.
I encourage my students to be "kind" to themselves when comparing
their progress to other students in the classroom. It is important to
remember that bellydance is for women of all ages and body types.
Certain movements will come easier than others and look differently
from one body to the next. Don't get discouraged!
Just relax and enjoy the journey…
