belly dance in public

The class was off last week and this week. Next week starts a whole new class with the same instructor. This time she’ll be in my neighborhood, which is awesome! Of course it has moved from Wednesday to Tuesday, which means no more “wiggle Wednesdays”. Ah well, we can’t have everything. I’m excited about classes starting back. Irene is a great instructor.

Belly dancing classes have been so much fun. I wish I had done it sooner. I really love it! I usually come early so I can watch the advanced class for 20 minutes or so before my class starts. I’ve yet to see a woman, no matter what her size, who did not look sexy and powerful when performing a belly dance. I think it’s because the dance itself is so empowering. You FEEL sexy and I think that shows. I highly recommend it for all women of any age. Even if you don’t ever dance in public, just learning how and getting in touch with your body is a great experience.

Two different places in town are starting new “beginner” belly dance classes next week. I will be signing up for at least one, if not both of them. I consider this goal officially underway.

This is a long-term goal the really encompasses two other goals – lose weight and learn to belly dance.

I have a bunch of DVDs that I am using to learn the moves and routines, but it’s one thing to do in the privacy of your own home and something completely different to do in public.
