What I re-discovered yesterday.

That Oriental Dance is NOT:

1. An ego trip to prove you´re "someone important".
2. A karate flick directly taken from the classic "Karate Kid" with that old chinese master that used to bring tears to my eyes while catching flies with chopsticks.
3. Tension, tension, tension and a little bit more tension (coming from insecurity and the eagerness to prove yourself to others).
4. Acting (acting is for ACTORS. REAL, RAW, TRUE feeling is for DANCERS).
5.Competition with others.
6. Soulless light version of streap-tease. Sensuality is not the same as light pornography. Enjoying yourself with genuine pleasure is SENSUAL, no need for boob/ass action at the face of your audience.

You can learn from everything, even from the bad (I reminded myself).
