The Belly Dance Certification Question
Many years ago when I was just starting out in belly dance, I can remember certain dancers telling me to get out of belly dance because I wasn’t any good. You have to wonder why dancers who themselves have goals and aspirations would want to diminish mine. But the reality of our dance world can be shocking to a novice and a cautious endeavor to a veteran. Unfortunately this is our world but only a small part of it. As time went on I kept on practicing and training with dancers who I felt were exceptional. And 24 years later I’m still belly dancing and creating a path along the way that other dancers can join along if they so choose. I remember one time a reporter asked me how I would define myself as a dancer and the only thing that came to my mind was the word “lone wolf”. 
Ok, yes I am romantically infatuated with wolves but in my heart this felt like the best description. Since than I tell people that I am a lone wolf in this field because I am unconventional in my way of dancing. Dancing for me is a creative expression that cannot be contained in a box. How would you define the Universe if so asked? This would be hard to do because there is so much of the Universe we haven’t seen. And I believe that there is so much of dance to be discovered. So than I ask you a question, why would you want to be certified in an art form that has to do with the creative mind which is vast and full of new and boundless discoveries? Oh I’m sure there are those dancers who would say that if you are learning a cultural dance than you should learn to dance it correctly. I’m one of them and I totally agree. Ok so I’m going to play devils advocate here; with so many dance teachers out there how do you know you are learning the correct way?
