belly dancing - does anyone do it or teach it?

[jenna321]

I would love to learn how to be fluid with the sensual hip circle properly & the elegance of the arm movement and this looks like a fun way to strengthen my core!
I wish to wear a bedlah with grace & confidance.
I really want to try Belly dancing unfortunately my research has found the classes are over or really far away. I couldn't sleep early this morning so I was channeling surfing and found shimmy on A channel which teaches belly dancing basics on tv. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. Ontario seems to have a lot of instructors and classes there but limited in BC.

I have the Neena and Veena Twins BD DVD and there's one called the Goddess Workout - both are instructional and easy to do - I've taken lessons for 3 years and done many charity performances - I enjoy the dance very much because it can be slow and sensual (excellent for stretching) or fast and a good cardio workout and you get to vary the type of exercise you do depending on your mood

Great way to keep fit took classes for 3 years at sherdian college. Danced at some dinner clubs back in the 80's

Funny you should post that, because I just discovered a belly dance place just around the corner from my place, and my daughter is bugging me to let her take lessons. I am going to take some myself for something to do this winter!

I just found 1 class left and it's quite local ! Keep your fingers crossed for me that I get it please. I really want to do this, stress reliever and just looks like a fun way to exercise!

Fingers crossed that you get the class.

I went to a womens seminar this year and saw them, they did a few dances and instructed about it. It was very cool. These weren't skinny girls either, they all had extra chunk, it was so nice to see woman with confidence of all ages especially the way society is today.
