At the same time, the dance is not all about us and motherhood. The idea is to present the dance, and not our scars and stretch marks to the world. They in no way enhance the dance or make it better to observe, or dance, and often make the audience and the dancer who is flaunting them uncomfortable, therefore defeating the purpose.
I believe dance and art serve humanity, humanity does not serve them. The point being made here that is people, audiences and performers alike, are way too hung up on personal appearance, and if we'd get past focussing attention on physical defects and physical perfection, both humanity and the dance would perhaps be better served.
