Ah, yes! and it's wonderful what happens to the perineum, vagina, bladder and the whole woman when Belly Dance is taken up. I heartily recommend it!
Ditto with ballet dancing. I did ballet as a child and into adulthood. I hadn't realised how much I had used my pelvic floor muscles and all the rest during my ballet training, until I started doing pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy. When our CBE teacher took us through pelvic floor exercises, I suddenly realised that I had been regularly - and by that I mean many times a day - exercising my pelvic floor, as a result of the ballet training that I had done.
The big trouble for me, was actually being able to let me pelvic floor "go".
