Prior to my belly dance, I did not dance, never danced under the guise of two left feet and other such excuses, but what I have found since learning, is the freedom others speak of and with that fun I never knew could be had. I also seem to use the dance for meditation, for I have at last learned to switch off the outside world and be alone in my thoughts whilst dancing. I have found I can do this by defocusing my eyes and just observe light tones and vague movement whilst doing my thing to the music I love, a situation where all one can hear is the music and feel the desire to move with it, a freedom I never before knew.
The other thing my dancing has done, is reduced the back pain I used to have due to a semi fused lower vertabrae following a particularly nasty back injury, I now have full spinal movement where I did not have previously, and it has cured the scoliosis I had due to various impact injuries in the past.
Aside from the skeletal improvements, I have discovered I am developing the dancers physique, slim but subtedly muscled, as opposed to the knotted weed look. My dancing has changed my diet and my outlook and I see many positivities to be gained by anyone by engaging in any kind of dance.
To dance, is to be free.
