I love reading about how traditional dance – in this case belly dancing – is finding its way back into popular culture. An article in the Clanton Advertiser (Clanton, Alabama) tells us about a third grade teacher, Shannon Williams, who is now also teaching belly dancing. Although she doesn’t have much to say about belly dancing costumes, she does say, “Belly dancing is a great way to keep in shape and the great part about it is that you don’t have to be a skinny person to do the dances. This is something that anyone can do no matter their age or body shape.”
I was very happy to learn that anyone can actually do this type of dancing, and I’m seeing that belly dancing costumes can be adapted to fit any size or shape.
Ms. Williams started dancing to relieve her own stress, and she states, “This is a more natural dance for women to do and it is more fun than exercising. It is a great positive to have in your life to help in coping with stress.”
