Who IS bellydancing?
Great point, Michelle
Just one last note. I would love it if someone would simply post a link to a video of someone who IS a "true" bellydancer. I bet we would all post videos that are incredibly different...and it would be nice to accept each others views as our very own "truths". From what has been discussed by a certain individual on this forum, it seems that in my 7 years of dancing I have never actually seen true bellydance (if none of the BDSS are bellydancers...and many of them look just like all of the other bellydancers I've seen out there). I find this pretty comical. I just think that my ideas are just not exactly the same as hers. But I think that's ok. I have no problem with that :-).
However, I wonder what Suhaila Salimpour would say if someone told her that she was not a true bellydancer (because she fuses Jazz, etc). hehehehehe...I'd LOVE to be a fly on the wall during that conversation ;-).
Finally and Respectfully ;-),
Phoenix
