Folk dance is valuable because it conveys character , experience , culture and temperament of its people.
( Igor Moiseyev – well known Russian choreographer)
I am sure that for dancing #bellydance need to study the #culture of the Arab people . You can add something from your culture, but you need to respect the culture of people, which dances you #dance . It is important to convey feelings in dance, understand people’s temperament.
In my opinion, you can understand the temperament of the people, if you will listen their classical music. For example , you can select any song from the repertoire of #Um_Kalsum (in my opinion , is the most rich in the sense of composition ), find its translation and at the same time read the lyrics, watch and listen to the original song( for example in YouTube ) . You need to have the patience to listen all original song(which is about half an hour ;)), but I am confident that with translation , song will captivate you ! You will better understand this song , you will feel your personal feelings, and this is very important . The next time you 'll be dancing to this song not in original song , you will be able to convey the real meaning of the composition. You can forget the choreography, but it is impossible to forget the feelings that you had when you were listening original! I am sure that such " practice" will help you dance better!
I wish you good luck and success !
