Sigh...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a rather strong statement:

That article by "Stefan" is 95.6892% hogwash, and the rest is suspect. Even Tarik has said that it isn't the greatest. I wish it would just "go away". It has been around for 1.2 forevers and is unfortunately quoted as "gospel" whenever the subject comes up. I've even found it translated into Russian!

His "information" on back injury with regards to side-to-side hip movements is the EXACT opposite that I've found to be true with my particular body at least (I told my Chiropractor about it, he said it was bunk too). And the rest is the same, tired old masculinizations which have little or nothing to do with Belly Dance.

And apparently, this "Stefan" isn't even a dancer, from what I am given to understand.
