Why Belly Dance IS NOT The Art Of Seduction




 

HI BEAUTIFUL DBM TEACHERS

This week I made a youtube video blog

for both our students and teachers

in which I wanted to talk about something

that I am very passionate about and I am sure lots of you will relate to


"WHY BELLY DANCE IS NOT THE DANCE OF SEDUCTION"


This is question I have been asked many many many times....

How can someone like you,

who believes in empowering women in their mind, body and soul,

use belly dance as a tool for empowerment

when belly dance is the dance used to seduce men?


What a question!


In the past years I have met many

students, professional belly dancers and teachers


telling me how much they love the dance

but how they sometimes feel "somehow guilty or embarrassed"

to tell their family, friends or colleagues

that they belly dance!


So how can belly dance be empowering?


In this video I am going to keep it REAL & RAW

I will tell you a little bit about my journey,

how even I used to attach some sort of shame to belly dance

but how it actually turned out to be

"MY MOST EMPOWERING AND AUTHENTIC FORM OF EXPRESSION"

and how belly dance started

FROM WOMEN TO CELEBRATE WOMEN,

to celebrate their bodies,

communicate hidden and at times scary emotions...

and how it was the most authentic way to get to know our own self


Remember

NOBODY INVENTED DANCE,

It is deep in the heart of every culture

throughout history dance is part of the pulse of humanity.


WE DANCE TO EXPRESS OURSELVES....

WHEN WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH

WE DANCE TO FEEL JOY...LOVE...PASSION

WE DANCE TO FEEL ALIVE

WE DANCE TO PLEASURE OUR BODIES WHILE MOVING

WE DANCE FOR OURSELVES AND NOBODY ELESE!


I hope you enjoy the videos and when in doubt...keep dancing 💃🏻🧿 ⭐️
