How I did it: I went along to a taster day with my sister being run at the local community centre. We then started lessons (with Nasira Bellydancing-Southsea) and went along every wednesday for months, We learnt great routines and then eventually performed them at local carnivals and parades in our amazing outfits. The only reason I stopped was because I've moved to Manchester but my sister still goes and I'll be starting lessons up here soon :)

Lessons & tips: Find a teacher you like who inspiries you and includes everyone in performances. I've heard of teachers who pick out 'the best' dancers for public performances. It should be an inclusive thing no matter how good you are.

Resources: I found the taster day on gum tree.
