My local library offers an Egyptian belly dancing class. It sounded really interesting and I could not resist trying it. I've never done belly dancing before but it looks so exotic and fun. I love the glittering belts and sheer skirts they wear. I will probably put on stretch pants and a t-shirt to ensure I feel comfortable. I am not skinny but I've seen plenty of well-rounded women belly dancing. I decided not to be self-conscious but just go for the good time and fitness benefits. Have you ever tried belly dancing? How did you like it? I know I love to watch it so now I will see how it's done!

My belly dances every time I move! Perhaps I should try it. I don't think the costume would suit me though!

Not sure about the costume :) Yes, I know the feeling of belly dancing when you move - hence, I'm taking fitness classes!

I do yoga and pilates but am always looking for ways to increase my flexibility - the older you get, the less flexible you seem to be unless you keep moving and stretching. Thanks!

It is sad that dance is a hidden language of soul . so Belly dancing class gives you an opportunity to express yourself and your soul and moreover its good exercise for your body and mind Hare Krishna Ganesh A

Oriental dancing is something beautiful and I like. personally I want to write somewhere where I can earn such a course and impeccable dance these young women who dance perfectly in time with music. Belly dancing is a wonderful thing to know that dance is lucky. so if you have such an opportunity and try not to regret. nice day!

just try to enjoy. and now if I'd started to dance dance white is just an incredible dance with many countries with great desire. just anyone who can dance this modern dance are lucky. because they can always use these skills in a disco in different appearances and so on. so keep up the spirit. nice day!

Good for You!!! I always find trying new things fun, I recently tried Sumba exercising and it was a blast. It's always a bit tough to try new things and step out of your comfort zone. So Good for you! I am happy for you that you try something new that is exciting and fun... and good exercise. Yippy

The only way I can hope to get fit is to mix it up and keep it interesting. I LOVED Zumba, but I also am a major fan of Latin music and dance. It took me back to the days of hanging out at Cuban clubs in my youth. Belly dancing has always been something I wanted to try and I can't wait go to the class this week. Good for you, too, in trying something new :)

When I used to go to the gym for aerobics, there were a few belly dancing steps that they mixed in to the routine. I enjoyed it a lot. Now, Im just exercising at home, and I just bought a belly dancing instructional video the other day. I have yet to start using it tomorrow. I'm very excited. I hope it works for me and woudl really help me get to my goal of fat burning, slimming and trimming.
