NEW Article: What is Belly Dance Anyway?
Quotes:
“Freedom to a dancer means discipline. That is what technique is for….liberation.” Martha Graham
“Everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances.” Maya Angelou
For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind? And when the Earth has claimed our limbs, Then we shall truly dance.
- Kahlil Gibran
