Take bellydance classes

just didn’t work out that well.

I have a couple of DVDs, I think I’ll work on this from home for a while and try again once my finances and the rest of my life get more stable.

I missed the first class. It was on Sunday the 21st at 2pm, and I just managed to get too busy taking care of other people and made myself late to class. I found myself with 10 minutes to get from the south side of town to campus, park, and get in to class,and realized that wasn’t going to happen. Rather than be disrespectful to the class and instructor by being late, I went over to a friend’s house, who was having tea, instead.

I will go next week and every week for the next 5 classes.

it was FUN!!
of course i was nervous beforehand, but i went along, in comfortable track bottoms. most people there were dressed teh same as me, but they had coin belts tied around their hips. i didnt want to buy one straight away without trying a few classes first. i felt a bit awkward at first, moving my hips around, but i got more comfortable as teh class went on. there were women of all shapes and sizes, so i didnt feel as self conscois about my own pot belly and large hips.
it takes some getting used to, being able to just let your body go and move ina sensual way, but u do relax after time, and after chatting to other girls there in the break.
one recommended i buy a coin scarf or belt, which the teacher was selling, as she said it would help me get into the right mood, and make me want to shake my hips more! she was right, you really do jsutwant to start shimmying away to make ur belt jingle.
great to make u feel more feminine and sensual.like a woman. i know this sounds cheesy.
and bonus – it tones up ur waist and hips!!

Sent a check to UT Informal Classes for a 6 week bellydance class beginning in January. Meets on Sundays from 2-3:30

yay!

that I want to take classes with my big pregnant belly right now and still some weeks to go. But I always wanted to do it and I read that it’s actually good for you to do when you’re pregnant as well. So why not?

I hope i’ll be able to do it when my tummy is flat MUAHAHAHHAHHAA and if i cant that’ll make me sad :(
