I had always been fascinated by the Belly Dance as a Dance
form,and longed to do it.Thanx to Shakira and her butt-shaking, and fitness
becoming a daily dose for me,I decided to finally take a class in this oh so
sexy dance form. The idea had been lingering for a while u see,but it was only
when I realized that Belly-dancing would do wonders to my attempts at
maintaining my weight, that I finally enrolled myself. And for all those women out there who want to
explore the WOMAN in you, this is the place to be. It is the class that will
make u feel uber sexy abt urself. Just think abt the lovely moves that your
body makes,which ordinarily you wudnt dream of doing. It brings abt the
feminity in you which we do not rejoice in our day to day lives. Yes, it makes
you feel like a woman alright, but not as much as it taxes you with all the
gyrations. Oh yes, its tough, needs a lot of stamina to perform, n keeps you
asking for more. And it is a task getting your booty to shake like that.But Im
looking at all the calories Im losing all the way.Two classes down, Im feeling
nicer,more shapely n happening.Talk abt giving urself a dose of
self-confidence.Not that I lacked it anyway, but this class has made me
discover a side of me which I didn't know.
Its not about the belly only,this form works on isolating
different muscle groups and making them work for you. So all in all, you are
excercising your whole body. It's a lot of co-ordinatination too. Quite an
exhilarating experience. Just think of all the calories you burn in a one hour
session. For a fitness freak, this is an interesting way to keep fit; for the
Dance enthusiast-it's a great dance form.But for me, Im doing it for myself.
And yes to surprise Hubby dear soon. Im sure he'll faint with sheer disbelief
at first, though later ..God save me!!!
Hi, This is really inspiring
can you share where you are taking these classes from? i would love to join as well…
Good that you posted an update in September! Great to know! (Rahul)
Great job. Best of luck to u after ur husband comes back from his fainting ha ha ha
From what I have heard is that though it appears easy it is tough and exacting and a wonderful workout. I am sure you love it very much. Take care :)))))))))))))))))))
wow… its very interesting to know that more and more people are expressing themselves and keeping fit. Its indeed a lot of hard work but once you explore your latent talent as a dancer you learn more…
Good work!
Yeah would love to know what was ur hubby’’s reactions…
Keep it goin” La”Shakira!
You know all of us men love ogling at her;-)
nice
It is nice you have taken Belly dance classes and understand there is more Art and helps to bring the women in you – So did Shakira.
When Shakira, the Colombian singer-songwriter of Lebanese and European descent, her father took her to a local Middle Eastern restaurant, where Shakira first heard the doumbek, a traditional drum used in Arabic music and which typically accompanied belly dancing.
Before she knew it, Shakira was dancing barefoot on the table, as restaurant patrons responded by clapping enthusiastically. It was then that Shakira said she knew she wanted to be a performer.
It reminds me of my Egyptian friend sharing, Belly dance originated in Egypt and is locally known as “Raqs Sharqi” and is their folk dance and part of culture like our Dandia’s & Bhangras.
They too have transformed from the classical “Raqs Sharqi” to the exotic and perhaps erotic Belly Dancing is how one looks and where you look. Cheers! Do share your Hubby’s view
