Message In a Bottle... Musings from your Favorite Genie... As the saying goes...You cannot put the Genie back in the bottle...Nor can you keep her from expressing her thoughts and feelings about the world around her little Aladdin's Lamp! Read on for insights from Gia about all things related to this dance we love...

different molds don't we?
We try to be the best children our parents could
have, the best siblings, the best spouse, the best
parent...the best dancer.
We work so hard to try to be that we haven't
taken a moment to consider that we're fine just
as we are!
So here's the good news...You needn't try any
harder any longer...you're just fine.
That is not to say that improvement shouldn't
come...people change and grow and learn...but
the improvements that you make should be on
your own behalf. The idea of living up to
someone else's standard is soooo "yesterday".
Belly Dance, in theory (learning) and
execution (dancing) is very much a vehicle for
progress in ones own journey through life.
And...more good news...Your body was created
perfectly for your life.
You are not "too" anything!
You are tall enough, or petite enough, large
enough or small enough. Your hair is long
enough, your breasts perfectly sized. Your
wonderful shape enables you to tell the story of
your life with your body. Ample hips enable
your movements to soar, a teeny body tremors
with shimmies that send chills through a
grateful audience!
Please honor yourself and this dance by
giving yourself permission, the patience and the
grace to learn in good time. The movements, as
well as the lessons they teach, will unfold
slowly...but...soon you will feel like the Goddess
that you really are.
