(Please see Day 1 if this is your first visit to this blog)
I had this Belly Dance book and tape since Borders was
in business! I never had time or the nerve to open it, so for this challenge yesterday and today, I cracked open the book and explored belly dancing.
Yesterday we all laughed (Day 22) as we tried to do the moves in the
book. I have done that Zumba thing at
the gym, love to dance, and took ballet all through college, so it was doable when I did one
move at a time. However, when the music started, I forgot all the
moves and ended up just moving my arms around and doing the shimmy. I am sure I
would have been kicked out of the harem.
I was determed to figure this out, so I found a web site
that has free classes and practiced hip circles and some other moves. I like this
site and I think that I will try to master some moves and add them into my Day 21, exercise
routine.
It even might be fun to also
try a class. I was surprised to discover that there is a Belly Dance Festival in
Pittsburgh in November. Now that would be a challenge. Who knows maybe I will
enter that. Does anyone belly dance?
