If in the eyes of the deluded perfect some of us are too big, too slender, too old, too young, too black-skinned, too blonde to be a belly dancer..that's their loss. If we do not meet up to today's
standards, we do have to prove something more and that is that we can stick at it and be a good dancer and a good entertainer and the young, cute size 8 isn't necessarily going to be that.
BUT if your weight is hampering your ambitions, do something about it. We oldies and the girls of African origin who are told..."You can't be a belly dancer" can't do much about it except go all out to prove them wrong.
I recently lost weight and feel better for it and hope it will tackle other health issues. Having said that if you are happy in your skin, all power to you and rest assured that most belly dancers are accepting of the wondrous variety we human beings are.
Ah Youtube..just don't expose yourself.... the mindless morons will only take savage delight. Look at how the praise the useless little dancing bimbos because they see their bodies not their talent
