I have always bellydanced, since it is traditional
in my village. Nevertheless, the styles we dance are local.
Many years ago, i saw live Arabic bellydance by friends in a party. The dance was traditional to them, so they encouraged me to dance with them even if i did not really know what i was dancing. Then they gave me music and they taught me some things so that i can follow their dance... and they told me (very politely) that i need to practice more... i did practice more...
However, i decided to get serious about it and have lessons, as well as extend my dancing to styles of other geographical areas than my own, some years later. My doctor said that my health had been deteriorating because of stress... then i said: i am going to do something that is completely different! the first thing that came to my mind was bellydance lessons...
