Oh, it looks like many years have pasted since I wrote here...
I was very busy with studies. Now I have a little time to write, so I am writing
I wanted to talk with you about a dance.
Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Before the production of written languages, dance was one of the methods of passing these stories down from generation to generation. I think there aren't any doubts about the point that dance is also a language of soul, just like music. And not so long ago I discovered a dance that is very pure and sensitive, very beautiful and very feminine. This dance is called a belly dance.
The roots of this art are uncertain. But there is one theory that belly dance was originally danced by women for women, to demonstrate or ease childbirth in Iran, India, and North Africa.This is the most popular and realistic theory.
This dance enchains you from the first moment you see it. This magical mystique charmed me with it's grace and that tabla rhythms just don't let me calmly listen. I move
I talk about woman belly dance only because I don't find men belly dancing beautiful and attractive.
I think that this dance is more harmonic with woman. Her life, her body, her emotional expressions.
The feminine nature has a weakness, softness, and delicateness about it. That's what makes this dance seem so beautiful I think.
Here are few videos of belly dancing...
