Sunday

belly dancing

Last night J. and I went to Nashville to see my MY COUSIN THOMAS'S BAND play at 12th and Porter. It was a great show with a huge turnout, including lots of our family. Before the show, belly dancers performed. I've always loved watching belly dancers, but this time I REALLY loved watching and realised, Hey! I want to learn to do that!

Here is a photo of me messing around with the bellydancing belt one of the dancers loaned me. Not sure who the lady on oxygen in the background is ;-)

So tomorrow I'm going to call the GYPSY HANDS Belly Dance studio here in Knoxville and inquire about lessons. I'm really psyched about it.

I'll keep you posted on my progress...

Oh, its so much fun!

I took classes with a few friends and our instructor was great. I know she writes articles about bellydancing (and parenting as well) and mentioned maybe putting out a dvd at some point in the future. She's fabulous and for anyone reading in the Boston area who is interested here is her site:

This bellydance dvd to build up your core muscles (weak spot for me!) is also good:
