The Joys of Belly Dance

I really enjoyed my belly dance class last night, but I did not get enough. I came home and did the Dolphina Goddess Workout. I am so glad that Lisa talked me into doing this. We got there a little early, so we got to watch a few minutes of Kristina and the MissiHippy Dancers do there thing. It was great.

Because I did so much yesterday, I decided to skip dancing today, but I did go to the gym to walk for an hour. Kristina said she took classes for a long time before she ever performed. I don't know if I ever want to perform, but it makes me feel better about being slow to learn. I still don't have the upperbody stamina needed, my arms ache and burn during class and the arm routines in the videos. I think I will run into trouble with the differences between American Tribal Style and what I have been learning from the videos, which is probably Cabaret.

I can see I will eventually need to get the Fat Chance Belly Dance videos or switch to the cabaret class. I am enjoying the whole experience, even if it still is not making a difference in my weight. It is changing how I see myself, which might be the best solution of all.
