What’s a Bellydancer Without Finger Cymbals?
Well, she (or he) is still a bellydancer, but it sure is a nice skill to have! In fact, many, many times when I’ve performed in restaurant settings, if I haven’t yet played my cymbals, one of the customers will ask, “Where are your bells?” accompanied by hand movements that loosely indicate playing cymbals.
