Female

Discovered Bellydance by accident...literally...I was a runner and fell down concrete steps and shattered my left elbow... 3 months in a cast.... 8 months of physio and one very large, long stainless steel prostesis later I was told no more golf no more curling and limited running... I needed to find something else to challenge and excite me...

I went to one bellydance class and was hooked...that was about 2.5 years ago. My life has to parts... before my accident and my life after my accident....I see myself now as 2 very different people....They say things happen for a reason...I truly believe that now... i am considered partially disabled since my arm does not work very well and is not very strong but if it means i can spend the rest of my natural life Bellydancing it was worth all of it !!

I do pretty good with it but I can't do veil very well since my arm can't straighten and i can't use zills for very long either...But I have discovered Sword which really doesn't matter if your arm works that great...Just a really good sturdy head and neck so this I think I can do !!
