Day 19 of the Belly Dance Challenge

Day 19: I Love Belly Dance Because...

I love belly dance because it gives me space to be me. I can use my body to express my soul and release myself.
I can share my passion and create a safe environment for women to nurture themselves, simply through teaching them this art form.
I love that belly dance can bring about such positive change in not only my, but my students and friends lives.
I can nurture my body with exercise designed for my body.
I can entertain people with my flawed body and be beautiful. I can share my enjoyment with my audience. I also love being able to dress up in sparkles and beautiful materials.
I love learning about the different cultures and dances from the different regions.
I have and will continue to become more aware of culture and cultural differences. I have and will continue to honour those cultures and cultural differences as best I can.
Through belly dance I have become more socially aware and I have changed immensely.
I love belly dance because it's beautiful, it's nurturing, and it makes us better people.
