Why do you dance?

[jrhonda47]

I know we all have different reasons on why we love to dance, and I was just wondering what some of yalls were? I do it because its such an amazing way to express your self and it makes me feel free, what about you? biggrin

[Cloudeds]

Because all my friends do it. Just kidding. I dance because it makes me happy. I love performing on stage with my friends who are like family to me. It helps me express myself and it takes me away to my own little happy creative land.

[dramallama95]

I'm a self taught dancer so I'm very self conscious about performing in front of people. So I keep my moves in my room, basement, and at my friend's house. I was dancing ever since I could walk. I dance because I love music, to simply put it. It's something that connects my friends and I together.

[Pleonastic]

I used to despise dancing, probably because I had no "moves". But that was yeeeeaaars ago. I dance now because it makes me happy, and I have my own moves now. I kind of look at it like how birds do mating rituals in one way; if you can't dance... Yar, I like to do interpretive dance with the same moves for fun. GAH xp

Because I find it fun, a way to express myself, find the dance beautiful and great exercise.

I have been taking ATS (American Tribal Style) Belly Dance for almost a year now and about to start taking Tribal Fusion as well. Due to health problems, so far I only did one performance, but it was a good experience. Believe it or not, I first got into Belly Dance years ago after I saw some dancers at Disney World Epcot and ended up buying a DVD.

[beatlesloverz]

I usually dance as a way of expressing my emotions. whee

[brey j]

Yay, another belly dancer! I can't remember how I became interested in belly dancing sweatdrop

I dance because... well, it gives me something to do. I actually didn't start learning to belly dance until my mom suggested that I'd walk into my graduation party to the song Tik Tok. Yeah, that wasn't happening.

Do you use any props for belly dancing? If so, which props are your favorite to use?

I haven't but some of the dancers that are part of a troupe and in tribal fusion do at times, they usually use swords, but they practiced with candles (well using cups of water at first), etc....I would like to use the swords. Right now I am mostly practicing with zills, but we consider that an vital instrument as we used them in ATS and not a prop.

What about you?

What style are to learning? Each style plays zills differently or more like use different patterns.

[Starberrypatch]

I dance because I enjoy it a lot. It's fun and it makes me enjoy myself.

[Theworldisadisaster]

So I can express myself emotional, and physically. To put words into actions. Also, that feeling you get when you've completely mastered a dance. Aa feeling of accomplishment.
