The Secret Language of Belly Dancing: Symbols. Sensuality. Maternity. Forgotten Roots

The author of this book has quenched my thirst to know more about the symbols of Belly Dancing.

Intuitively, I had always known that all those circles, figure 8s, snakes, crescents came from the deep-deep-deep roots. The book of Maria Strova shed the light on to all of them. I am so happy that it has being translated into English.

Here are the words from this book I really like and that I totally agree with:

"Although belly dancing has its own characteristic language, which gives it its identity as a dynamic manifestation, its execution cannot be limited to repeating steps and choreography. It would be essential for us as women if there weren't a personal revelation in every move, every step, and every stare. This diversity accounts for its growth through the unique contributions of people who dedicated themselves to it seriously and passionately."
