Sorry, I do not belly dance but have been studying it as part of my analysis on how the body can move for many years. I am a Plastic Surgeon and my passion is sculpting the body not just for still photographs for journals, but in motion, living life to its fullest and enjoying activities such as dancing. I incorporated video documentation of the problem, surgical solution, and healing after surgery to better understand what I was doing and how I could improve my techniques. Whether my patients are stressed by how they look while swimming, playing volleyball, or soccer I have worked for years to restore what nature, weight loss, pregnancy took away.
Besides motion, I have been working on emotion: the emotion of the problem, the emotion of the surgical sculpture, and the emotion of recovery.
I also have been evolving how to perform my surgery with minimal patient discomfort and earliest return to activities. My Tummy Tuck patients often just use plain Tylenol and just a few stronger pain pills for their recovery.
And yes, I do have quite a collection of Belly Dancing music on my iPod that I play while working on the computer and sometimes while performing my sculpture.
