I began belly dancing when I was 15. I didn’t know it then but this ancient dance taught me many valuable lessons that I have applied throughout my life:

1. Life shouldn’t and won’t be choreographed.
2. Hitting every beat is not necessary, or advisable.
3. Pauses help create dramatic build.
4. Life experience brings richer emotional content to creative expression.
5. Projecting emotion is more important than executing flawless technique.
6. Understanding culture and language are essential. (You should never lip synch to a song when you don’t know what the words mean.)
7. Love thy fat and let it jiggle.

In Egypt experienced (read older) dancers are valued. They are certainly much more fun to watch.
