Loving Your Own Body – Debbie and Linda

The Listening Project

Available for over a year

Debbie and Linda met at a belly dancing class three years ago. Debbie took up belly dancing after having her last child. At first she didn't feel confident enough to dress up in the outfits, but others in her class told her she was natural. Now she has a large wardrobe full of paraphernalia and teaches belly dancing herself. Linda initially went to Debbie's class to keep a friend company but she says she fell in love with belly dancing from the very first moment. They talk about how performing has changed the way they feel about their bodies and reflect on how important their friendship has become.
