I was never confident with the way I looked until I took up bellydancing. And this had nothing to do with arousing men by dancing in public places. In fact, many women only dance in women-only dance parties and events. In fact, it is not even necessary to wear a bra and skirt when bellydancing. I myself cover up my tummy and legs when I dance, by wearing beledi dresses or long tops. And dancers usually refuse to dance for men-only events. It is because of the misguided notion that bellydance is for men's arousal is why people like Nadia have to write such articles. If you refer to the first picture in that article, you can see a lovely Indian lady in the background watching enthusiastically. This is pictorial proof that bellydancing is not for men's arousal only. People who think so are misguided and un-educated about what bellydancing really is. If you learn from any legitimate bellydance instructor, they will tell you that bellydancing requires a lot of difficult technique and skill which every woman has to learn properly. There is a fine line between bellydance technique and sleazy dancing and often, people cannot see this difference between the two forms. The reason why they cannot see the difference is because they are not educated about it. As long as there are still people who think that bellydancing is merely for seduction and sexual arousal, people like Nadia and I will continue to work to change this ugly misconception about bellydancing.
