How did you hear about World Belly Dance and what inspired you to participate?

I heard about World Bellydance Day from Lydia on the Belly Dance Forums. I loved the idea of a shared, worldwide day of dance, so I decided to participate.

What does Belly Dance mean for you?

Bellydance is an amazing ethnic folk dance glitzed up for the stage. I love the opportunity it allows me to study culture and movement. I am very passionate about the dance!

What message about Belly Dance would you like to send to those that have not started dancing yet?

Bellydance is for everyone, of every age. It is for both women and men. It's incredible fun and you can do it for the rest of your life!
