Eclectic Questions

The following set of eclectic questions are from the same person in the same email:
Question #1 - What would you likely be doing for a living if you hadn't become a Bellydancer? I have no idea. As a child brought up in the 60s, my aspirations were to be a Hippy. Being a Hippy is a state of mind and not a job, nonetheless, my family does believe I accomplished my goal. Although I was a straight A student, I dropped out of school as soon as legally possible (age 16) to pursue mystical studies full time and took odd jobs here and there to help pay rent. Odd jobs then turned into Bellydancing which actually made me a living for 27 years. Career has never been a consideration in my thought process until very recently at the ripe age of 47 where the notion of old age security has seeped into my consciousness. Now, I am finally starting to learn about business and the meaning of a dollar. When people ask me for career advice, I always say "Follow your passion, money or no money, you will always be happy". If you forfeit your passion in order to earn money, you just forfeited your precious and short life. For me, the Bellydance path was never a choice. When it was explained to me, that this path of a Bellydancer would lead to being a bag-lady, I replied with "so be it" because if I do anything else with my life, I will suffocate and die.
Question #2 - Do you think bellydance is evolving? Should it? The answer is "of course" to both questions. I know you are looking for a longer answer to this - maybe later.
Question #3 - Explain how you came up with the name "Fish" for a reverse Maya? Actually my student and one of the co-founders of Arabesque Dance Company, Jane Graydon A.K.A. Jalilah came up with the name in 1988 when Arabesque was on Davenport Rd. in Yorkville. Jane also came up with the Drunken Sailor for the Rounded Out Crossover and the Bunny Hop for the Saiidi Drop. Jane had a great sense of humour. In the early 80s, what I now call a Maya was originally the Up & Over Figure 8 and the Fish was the Down & Up Figure 8. I was very literal and unimaginative with naming dance steps. One day a student from out of town came into the school and said she had been taught the Up & Over step was called a Maya. When I told Hanni, my Egyptian boyfriend at the time (and the only one who believed Arabesque Academy had a furture), he said that Maya meant Water in Arabic so when I told the class the next day, Jane decided the Down & Up Figure 8 should be the Fish. I also learned later that many Egyptians described Sohair Zaki as one who moved like a fish and as this was one of her signature moves, it seemed appropriate and it stuck. The name Bunny Hop didn't stick but Drunken Sailor is still around.
