learn to belly dance

I’m not a dancer. I took ballet as a kid, and if you watch my recital tape, I was a head taller than any other girl in the class, and couldn’t keep up with the others. It was actually really awful. My boyfriend said I looked like a dancing giraffe…sweet, isn’t he? Fast forward several years, and my Aunt Jeanea gave me a belly dancing kit for a gag gift on christmas. It came with an instruction book, a music CD, and finger symbols. It was just enough to get me interested. I bought a belly dancing excersise video, which was so much fun. That’s when I knew it was official. I want to learn to belly dance. I don’t know that I’d be any good at it, if the past repeats, but I’d still like to try. It would be fun, if nothing more.
