My "bellydance" life

Too fat for Bellydance?

   Sun, September 23, 2007 - 12:38 PM
A week ago, an iraquian singer and drummer told me that my dancing is fine but that it would be much better if I would loose more weight...In other words...im too fat to do Bellydance.....My first inner reaction was " You motherf****!!!!What the f*** do u know about BD?!?!?!" but then later on i thought about it and like...most of the dancers are slim...i mean look at Arbee, Sharon K, Zoe, Sashi etc etc... is there a line where you must say " I am too fat for bellydancing!" ? What do u think?

Big Mac Attack!
Hahaha!

It doesn't matter what that Iraqi singer/drummer thinks. It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think. I have my own preferences and those only matter to me.

Go have a burger and dance it off later! Or not!

Namaste'

Too fat - don't listen 1
Don't listen to any man who makes a negative remark about you - EVER !!! It is how you feel about yourself that matters. He was just trying to put you down to make himself feel good (lack of confidence - poor guy). Incidentally, you are very pretty. So keep dancing and to hell with that guy ! A.

I've been following the discussion on the hair and makeup for dancers tribe... and I have to say, I think you are so gorgeous! I've been hit with some of the weight criticisms too... so I understand where you are coming from. But you are beautiful, don't let anyone ever convince you otherwise!

Like I think someone said in that dicussion: I can lose the weight, but they'll always be an asshole! :)
