9. I took a 6 week belly dancing class and it was a lot of fun.

I even made my own veil for the Veil Dance! ooo la la!! My hubby was thrilled.....:evilgrin:

You're right, it's great exercise.

:hi:

11. Oh fun!

I love it. Like I said up thread, I really need to start up again. :D

14. One of the things I learned was that there are many different styles of belly-dancing

my teacher taught a "caberet-style", which was with more refined movements and where shoes were worn. I wasn't particularly enamored of her style, truthfully. Plus she was super skinny, which was opposite of the voluptuous booty I'd been expecting.

I've done years of African dance, so I'm more into the earthy, wider hip-stance, bare-feet type of dancing. That's more my style....

Have fun if you start up again! :)

15. I would love to try African dance!

It's so awesome to watch, it must be a blast to do. :D

[Shine]

16. It's the best....especially with the live drumming.

all my classes have had the live drumming, which really adds to the "tribal" experience. I'm lucky to live in an area where there is a whole sub-culture of African dancing and drumming. :thumbsup:

12. I've seen many belly dancers, but I've NEVER seen one do that "bosom-lift" thing.

Now THAT's some muscle control. She must have practiced a LONG time...she's very good.

13. Yeah, I tried to do it... but it didn't work out so well.
