Bellydancing or Rak Sharki to use the correct terminology has long been a passion of mine. I have been teaching it, in Australia, for 20 years. It is such a diverse dance in not only its many styles and genres but also in its people, music and traditions. Belly dancers come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and ages. They also wear many different styles of costuming from the popular two piece number to long flowing throbes. There are many myths and misconception around this art form. To name a few. We are strippers and dance topless (this is a popular one on deviant). NO! It is for labour NO! It is for goddess worship NO! We wear a jewel in our navel. NO! We aspire to be sex slaves lounging around in someone's harem. NO! We dance the dance of the seven veils. NO! We just wiggle. Ahhh!!! This one is the worst especially when you have devoted 20 years of your life, with daily practice and commitment so your can excel at what in essence is an extremely high art form. Sadly these misconceptions are continually reinforced to this day by popular media. Most of you would know Jasmine from the Simpson's. She spends her time dancing on tables at buck shows and moonlights as a stripper. I dream of genie is forever connected to bellydancing even though though I cannot think of one thing that would make it so. One of the more recurring myths is you need a lot of meat on your bones. This is not true, you do not have to be any particular shape. Bellydancers come ultra thin to very voluptuous. Each dancer tailors the dance to suit their body type, making her dance unique to her. Another myth is men don't bellydance. They most certainly do, and do it well! Bellydance comes from the Middle East and Far East were it it enjoyed by all, including men. Today, and in the past, there are wonderful male performers found throughout the globe. Take a look on youtube and you will find many. Bellydancers are everywhere, in every corner of the globe, including Deviantart. So I thought I would share my love with you. I hope you enjoy this collection.
