Tonight after work, I went to my first Belly Dancing class. At first I thought I was the only one with a belly!!! More than half of the women there had no belly and were in amazing shape, but there were others like me who had more than their fair share of belly. LOL...LOL

It was fun though. The instructor went a little too fast for Ms Uncoordinated MOI!!!! I was going to do the belly dancing at home since I bought two DVDs. I think I may still use them. Maybe the instructor on the DVD goes slower so I can actually learn the moves, and then next week when I go to class, I won't feel like the uncoordinated person I am. Yet, it was still fun and a great workout!!!

Anyone else try belly dancing?

Love,
Dina

I took a class many years ago and just loved it! In fact, my reward for reaching half-way is to buy DVDs and my reward for reaching goal is a genuine belly dancing outfit. (Don't tell DH -- it's a surprise!) I have to wait for half-way for the DVDs because I already have a gazillion DVDs and need to seriously work through all of them before I can buy any more. That should get me to halfway!

Sounds as if you have a great plan to practice before your next class... always a good idea to do your "homework"! Have a great time and let us know how you're progressing. I can live vicariously through you until it's my turn!

Hi Dina! Let me know how the belly dancing works for you. I've always wanted to buy a belly dancing DVD because I thought maybe it would really work my stomach area, which is my problem area. Maybe it makes the core stronger...I have no clue. So fill me in on your progress! Thanks!
