So, I was talking to Zahra last week, and we got talking about cabaret vs. fusion, and she was referring to a really beautiful dancer who I had always thought of as a cabaret dancer. But then she pointed out what she was fusing belly dance with and I realized that she was absolutely right, she WAS doing Fusion, but I had been so hung up on the Oriental moves combined with the Egyptian costume that I had completely overlooked the other aspects of her dance...which actually made me realize the talent it took to so seamlessly fuse these elements together.

But I was disappointed in myself for paying attention only to the costume.

Have you ever overlooked something amazing because you were so blinded by your OWN preconceived ideas?
