I went to a bellydance class!!!! It has been a loooong time since I have been in a room with that many women - I felt really awkward, but I had a good time! Hopefully I will start to catch on more in the next few classes!
Bellydancing is not just for willowy, lithe types. There were all types and body shapes there in class - everybody was happy and non-judgemental and enthusiastically shaking what they have.
Now how cool is that! I've watched Shimmy on the Fit channel, but haven't tried any of the moves; I'm afraid I'd permanently throw my back out! I've heard, though, that belly dancing is a lot of fun.
