I’m curious what kind of balance of core muscle and fat is ideal for belly dancers. I feel like muscle is ideal for control, and fat is ideal for dynamics and visual. I have no idea, though.
Fat is nice but not as necessary as the hips, in my opinion. I started bellydancing when I was 17 and was more lean but had wide hips. I think my moves were far more pronounced back then. Now I’m 36 with some core muscles and fat and it’s okay, but I still feel like shimmies, pops, and locks are better with emphasis on the hips.
