Isn't belly dancing kind of like stripping?
In a word…..NO.

Actually, getting ready to take a shower is more like stripping than belly dancing.

Sadly, there are always going to be a few “bad apples” who either knowingly (shame, shame!) or unknowingly (indicates the need for more education and enlightenment) showcase belly dance or Oriental Dance/Raqs Sharqi in a light that is less than flattering.  I suppose that will always be the case to one degree or another.

The truth is, when presented properly, belly dance is a wholesome, family friendly and social dance form used at many of life’s celebrations to bring and share joy with one another.  There is nothing seedy or unseemly about belly dance in its true form.

One can only attempt to inform readers and arm them with knowledge.  What a reader chooses to do with that information is up to them.

As for me…..I will be joyous and belly dance.  I hope you’ll join us!
