learn how to bellydance

I took a class once many years ago and it was a blast!! Hard, but fun! I recently found a workout show on Fit TV that is called SHIMMY. They teach you belly dancing steps and the names of them from various styles of belly dance. At least it is a start, free, and you can practice moving in that way alone before doing it in a group!!

I am taking my first class tonight! Wish me luck.

i have the music and the clothes and the jewlry, i just need to practice. :)

well this isnt high on my priority list right now although i am trying to find fun ways to get my cardio in… there are some videos on a video share site called ‘guba’ but they dont seem to ever load… grr… i’ll keep trying though… eventually i would like to take some classes but they seem to be getting more and more xpensive

For some reason today when I was listening to a CD that had bellydancing-ish music I suddenly felt an urge to learn how to bellydance. Actually I would like ot learn how to dance in general…but ballydancing would be amazing. I don’t even know where to start, so this is something I have to look into.

Learning to Bellydance is a life long thing. You can’t just take a few lessons and be amazing. So for now this is going to be taken off of my list and replace with something else.

I started taking “formal” bellydance lessons on Monday @ a local art studio. I was happy just doing that until I found out that the instructor was casting bellydancers for a production of The Tempest. My instructor was so excited about how quickly I picked up the movements (which I’m pretty sure has everything to do with the fact that I’ve study every Belly Queen and Rachel Brice instructional DVD I can find) that she invited me to check out the practice for The Tempest. Her excitement made me willing to go ahead a give a small role a try even though I haven’t done a play or performance since I was seventeen.

Wish me luck! :)

totally doing this! taking classes locally and it’s a blast

I’ll soon be taking classes locally! They start on the 14th. I’m so excited!

I’m a good dancer anyway but bellydancing is something I always wanted to do. And maybe it’ll help me out when I choreographing some dances.
