I'm a Greek bellydancer. I originally come from Minor Asia (Istanbul). I teach bellydance in 2 YMCA branches (University City and Harris) and in Independence Dance Studio.I've been dancing since I was a kid, I gave my 1st performance when was 15.
"I'm the Organizer of t he "Charlotte Belly Dance - Gypsy Meetup Group" and I've scheduled a Workshop for July 2 2009, Thursday, 7.00-8.30 pm"
In my opinion, that's the real meaning of "bellydancing" : women-self-entertainment....increasing our self-esteem...exchanging cultures and vibes. bellydancing is not just 'belly shaking"...it's "mind shaking", by accepting different ways of body-expression, different cultures and styles. Everybody is UNIQUE, created in a such awesome way... irreplacable...special. That's why "bellydancing" is not a typical, strict, limited dance. All women could bellydance in their unique, special way, with their amazing, different body types, smiling and feeling proud of themselves. That's the real meaning of a real, original, authentic "bellydancing-meetup"...to FEEL THE WARMTH AND UNIQUENESS OF BEING WOMEN. In my country, Greece,we are just looking for a chance to have a party ("glenti"), where almost all women dance the Greek 'tsifteteli' belly-dance, b/c this is a medicine to unhappiness. That's my consideration of what the next "meetup" should be about.Vania
