Become a professional belly dancer

I am not of arabic, or , middle-eastern descent, but for whatever reason I find myself listening to Arabic music, watching bellying shows (not those work out ones) and then finally I started pursuing lessons. But I need more. I want to train professionally. I am currently a student but if I find the right opportunity, I will follow my heart.

I danced around for about an hour with them. its amazing how much you remember, even after years of not dancing. this is progress :)

In order to be the best belly dancer I can be. I will need o put in at least 2 hours of dance practice a week. I used to belly dance profesionally a few years ago. I just need to get back in shape.

ooo… wouldn’t this be fun. although it all depends on the definition of “professional bellydancer”. I have performed for faires twice and a private party once… humm…

Ok so I’ve been taking classes for 2 years (so Im technically still a beginner) but I know this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I’ve performed at our recital twice and performed in our street festival over the summer. I absolutely love it its all I think about (mostly) and I cant imagine doing or being anything else. I made a list of some of my favorite dancers that i want to take workshops with and train with. Im really excited about it :)
