Belly Dancing

[Kath]

Ok, so I know my belly does it's own dance :giggle: but I've always wanted to have a go at belly dancing.

Does anyone else do it?

I dont do it, but have always fancied giving it a go........I do have plenty of belly to jiggle around....hee hee

He he me too, mine is particularly delightful as it has that saggy sole source look about it and plenty of silvery stretchmarks too :giggle: I'd have to strap it all in if I did do belly dancing :giggle:

I would really love to do it though, supposed to be great for toning your belly too

Oooo me too! I'd love to try it!! There's nothing near me though.... I have been wondering if it would be fun learning with a DVD?????? Kinda the only choice I have for now.

I would really love to start belly dancing, if anyone finds a DVD to teach let me know.

 

[Kate]

It's great fun! I've got a DVD although it's more for teaching technique rather than an actual class on DVD. Search on Amazon for "Belly Twins" though and you should find Neena and Veena Bidasha's aerobic bellydance stuff. They're not the only bellydance videos but they are pretty popular at the moment.

Kath, I work on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings - so that only leaves Mon,wed,fri or Sunday. I dont mind a bit of a drive.
I'll get on google tomorrow and see what I can find. A friend of my sisters used to do it, I think that was in Kingstanding.

Thanks very much Kate, Have found a couple of local instructors on there - will call them later today.

 

[Lesleyfx]

Kate... Thanks to your link I've emailed 2 belly-dance class leaders local to me Thanks!

 

[Lesleyfx]

I'm scared ...... Found a class with a lovely lady on monday evenings.... she's very helpful and wants me to go early first time so she can assess what I can and can't do comfortably, so she offer alternative moves where needed (I've got a false hip joint, still not got full muscle power from op) ...... But there's no-one to go with me so I gotta swallow hard and go in alone

Ooh wow fantastic! Let us know how you get on

 

[Sambucca]

Just to let you know Kath, I tried ringing both of the belly dance class leaders in my area on Friday but no answer on either number so I sent them both emails. I'll ring again on Monday afternoon if Ive not heard back from them.

Ok thanks chick, hope they've got something that suits us - my friend's been doing it for a while now (she's lives Stourbridge somewhere) and her stomach is almost flat

Great website! I used to suffer with my back before I lost my weight, it was always going. Usually when I was in the shower and I'd get stuck and have to wait for the pain to pass.

Luckily that all went with the weight
