Do you think Yoga helps with bellydancing? or some kind of back exercises, postures, aerobics? Is Yoga a part of bellydancing? Which exercises would you recommend? I'm absolutely new to bellydancing, I learn by myself...I don't want to break my back or something, please advise me, gorgeous Mahafsoun

Yoga absolutely helps. I recommend yoga and any cardio exercise. And of course, always be sure to stretch well before dancing. It will not only make a great difference in how your performance looks, but also how you feel while dancing.

Have you already made a performance of the song "Nora el Nora"? If you didn't, will you do?

I *love* that Orphaned Land song. I will for sure dance to it.

Hello Mahafsoun. I ran into your belly dancing video of Gojira and you look familiar. I went to Vancouver in the summer of 2012 and i bought a dress in the Store Millenium. I remember speaking to a fellow girl of middle eastern decent that looked like you. DID you work at Millenium?

Hi! Yes, it was me who worked at Millennium. :) Good eye!

Who has been your greatest influence in photography?

So many models, photographers, movies, music, books... I can't even begin to list them to be honest. I get inspired by specific things but when I do, it opens up my imagination to the point where I can create things that I'm extremely proud of and happy with.
I actually opened up an album on Facebook dedicated to things that inspire me. I will expand the list soon: https://www.facebook.com/Mahafsoun/media_set?set=a.799449616771057.1073741905.100001180797916&type=3

Did bellydancing help trim your waistline? I heard it makes the waist tighter and smaller

Yes, absolutely. It helps a lot in making your lower body more fit.

Bellydancing hurts my back, especially my lower back. Do you have any tips on how to avoid that?

Stretch a lot before you dance. I mean, a lot. Even for 20 minutes if you have to. Hopefully it will help. I'm usually impatient and go right ahead and dance. I don't suggest it. :)

Do you see any parallels between Iranian culture and gothic and metal culture that have influenced your personal style?

Good question! I have never seen any traces of the gothic subculture in my culture as an Iranian. I mean, yes, there are gothic individuals who are Iranian (or Middle Eastern in general), but rarely do I see or know of any. Growing up in Iran, I never once heard of metal, goth or anything alternative. It was all new to me when I moved to Canada.

Is Ankh your favourite (if I can call so) symbol? Are there any other symbols?

The Ankh has precious meaning to me. I have also always liked the Pentagram for what it represents.
