Bellydancing


Recommended Posts

This maybe isn't necessarily women's only (If a dude wants to belly dance, more power to him!) but I figure it's more likely that the ladies of NF would have info about this. I took belly dancing classes for a summer about 5 years ago. The person I was taking lessons from had a studio in her garage and is a professional belly dancer, etc. It was tons of fun and I really enjoyed it, but it was on the expensive side and she shut down for the winter to lessons, so life and finances got in the way and I stopped.

 

I thought it was great exercise and tons of fun and I've been listening to Beats Antique recently and really want to try it again, but I think I'd rather just do it at home. Does anyone know if any youtube instructional videos, or DVD's I can buy that are good beginner bellydance classes?  I'm willing to invest some money into this, just not $50 a week. 

 

thanks!

"When I can no more stir my soul to move, and life is but the ashes of a fire; When I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire - O be thou then the first, the one thou art; Be thou the calling before all answering love, and in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire." - George MacDonald

Hi,
I took some bellydance classes and at the time I was also checking this to remember specific figures:

You will need a big mirror though, it's easy to do the postures wrong...
And lot of space to do the travelling.
Here classes are cheaper (around 10$) so I would try to find cheaper classes if possible!

I've been belly dancing for almost 9 years and have danced professionally for a few years. It is great excercize  and makes you feel good about yourself which is the most important part.   Traditional bellydancer don't have flat stomachs, but they do have a nice hourglass figure because of all of the muscle work!  I highly encourage anyone to give it a try!
