Question about being a belly dancer?

Question

do you need a belly as in do you need some weight or you need to be thin to be a good belly dancer?

some says u need a good belly, some says u need to be thing like shakira.

Answer 1

You definitely don't need to be thin.  In fact, most of the really thin belly dancers that I've known need to work really hard on certain moves because they don't show on their bodies as readily.  Some of the best belly dancers that I know are quite full-figured.  It isn't about your shape so much as how you feel about yourself and how well  you are able to express yourself through the movements of the dance.

Answer 2

Typically you wouldn't want a large belly, but filled out is good.

Answer 3

doesn't matter if you thin or thick.

it matters if you have the muscles. I've been dancing for 7 years and I've been wondering the same thing.

Answer 4

i say you just have to be a good dancer and be agile so long as you arent seriously overweight i dont think weight comes into it

Answer 5

i dont think u need a belly..but u need 2 get d moves rite
