Reasons why it is great to be a belly dancer.
I must admit, some of these contributions are really classic.

 

 

1. You can now wobble legally in the classes without any one looking at you in disgust!!!!!!!! It’s suppose to wobble - right?????????

2. You now have a reason to own dangerous weapons like a sword and a cane

3. Makes you feel lekker when you "get it" (Translation: makes you feel lekker when you click on a certain movement or technique and are doing it correctly)

4. You meet great ladies from all walks of life and you share something more than friendship - a mutual love for the dance.

5. Belly dance is said to help relieve PMS.

6. You appreciate your body

7. Belly dancing is something which you can start no matter what your level is.

8. You have a reason to literally play with fire.

9. It makes you feel beautiful and sexy even if you are not in the real world.

10. You can express how cold it is by actually shimmying instead of quivering.

11. You can sing along to lyrics in a foreign language with no idea of what they mean

12. You can dress up in beautiful metallic and shiny colours with things that jingle and shake and actually be allowed to go out in public
