Belly dancing....
I am going to try something new for the first time...I am frustrated with myself just sitting here at my computer all the time, so I have decided to join a class.
Tonight I will go for my first Belly dancing lesson and I am not really sure what to expect, although I did buy a pretty skirt, as I was advised to do... it has little silver coins along the bottom that jingle when you move...
Are there any ladies that have advice to give, to a beginner ?
Also, I am curious to know if there is anyone out there that would like to share with us if they have tried anything new lately ?

I have an English class today... attending a course at the office, finishing the "advanced" level soon. Nothing new recently but you might inspire me :))
It is no wonder your English is better than mine
btw i hear for betta performing of a belly dance u shud have one(belly) first of all
I have seen videos of belly dance lessons and I must tell you that it looked great! First of all, the ladies looked amazingly in this outfit, and secondly, they looked like enjoying it heaps :) And of course, the moves are... so womanly, so ellegant! Don't be nervous and share with us after that!
Hi Oly ...
YES! I am very much encouraging you to try. It's really fun
The coin part on your skirt around the hip, usually called hipscarf. They will make sound whenever you do hip shimmy
My advice is to relax and to enjoy it. It may not be easy but it's not difficult to do it either. Don't expect anything for instance you take the class to lose your weight etc, it will come naturally once you can adjust your body doing the movements.
This is actually the moment for you to know your body parts better and to enjoy every movement to see that they - from head to toe - collaborate to form a beautiful dance
Oh, I am so happy to hear you'll take belly dance class. Have fun
Here it is for you to motivate you at first class
no nothing new lately i almost took tango lessons once does that count .lol.
I have read that the moves of the hips area are great for the functioning of the female reproductive organs. It is actually a great massage which also increases the women's libido.
Oh maybe I should search for some belly dance classes too
True. It can help to lift up your confidence, too
I suggest you to take class of it
Hope you are doing great!
I think the effect for a nice man after you belly danced for him will be
Are you sure you still have to do the the trial?
Shake it up, Jana
Live your life as if it is your larst! Having fun is the key!
Me I read and learn. But I am doing something new in my life!
Have fun!!
Ladies, for those of you who have not tried, I would recommend it...
I would have to say that it makes you feel more feminine and quite seductive actually, hehehe !
I have not had so much fun in a long time and I feel on top of the world
It is wonderful, I am going again on Thursday

good luck for you tange...
I love to dance, I went to my local library yesterday, to check-out the free dance lessons on Monday evenings, unfortunately, the teacher was out sick....but I'll try again next Monday. I am already a member of the book club there. Don't stay home...go out and do something new at least a few times per month!
Of course I'm not saying that skinny women can't belly dance it just didn't work for me, at all.
Thanks to your blog Miss Tango I've finally taken out an old flyer and signed up for Indian dance at the Indian culture center. Thanks for the reminder!!!
Trust Salsa would be totally up my lane but I've no partner
Great idea and wonderful dance... I was a belly dancer instructor for 10 years ... couple of my girls won international competitions.
When you need any questions or tips to discuss or ask.... please feel free to contact me
Have an enjoable time in classes
Coffee: Anything that we try for the first time, providing it is something that we can enjoy can put an end to boredom
Jules: I hope you also enjoyed the dance as I have
Ruben: What you have said is very true, I think it is a good thing for me to get out... to go outside and swim, feel the sun, get some fresh air and meet people
Just this morning at the gym after I got off the treadmill and was heading back to the change rooms, a guy on an exercise bike flashed me a brilliant smile
Meanwhile: It is nice to hear from somebody that has tried it, I suppose different forms of dance would suit differnt people, sorry it didn't work out for you... I am glad that you feel inspired to sign up for the indian dance classes, hope that is more enjoyable for you... Salsa and no partner ? Mmmmmm! I know what you mean, but hang in there... perhaps you will find that dream dance partner sooner than you think
It is not as easy as it looks and yes it is terrific exercise
Good luck with getting back into it
