    Default I *think* you'd have to call this my new hobby

    or obsession (I'm pretty sure that's what Gripey would call it) but I have my bellydance recital tonight. It's been such a fun class, very challenging and completely addictive. I'm really sad that last night was our last class (except for one girl in the class.......very annoying). I've enjoyed my buddy that I've shared rides with, made a lifelong, close friend there. All in all it's been a most excellent experience. The best part is that the instructor hopes to have a class in the town nearest me (17 miles away as opposed to 55) next semester. I still recommend it to anyone who has always thought they'd like to try it.....it's LOTs of fun.

    My 21 year old daughter took up belly dancing and she LOVES it!
    and she says... it's a great work out.

    I'm glad to hear that others injoy it that much.

    Have yourself a blast tonight & hope you can take some more classes. Gripey must be a happy man with his exotic babe.

    Ooohhhh, that was a good one......

    No.

    I did have a blast, it went very well and Gripey told me he was 'impressed' .

    Glad you enjoyed your dance class. Something to think about.

    I always thought it looked like fun...they have videos to that you can follow. I'm gonna have to wait awhile though cause the moves won't be safe for me for many months to come. Glad you had fun though.

    Oh they have prenatal belly dancing videos too (wouldn't recommend trying if you're having any kind of trouble though...).

    What fun! Glad it went well. I used to have a belly dance how-to video and now I can't find it or the book....hmmmm.

    That's so cool! You've inspired me to check it out, too! Maybe not in-person, yet. But youtube, or on-demand I'm ready for!
