Belly Dance in October

[Brother Robert of Essex]

I have a belly, but believe me, you don't want to see me dance with it.   

[William_MacKean]

I can't wait to start shimmying! 

How much to just come watch?

[MissBubu]

Trust me, after having gone through the class before, it's not a pretty site. (where the heck was I supposed to put my foot again, and my arms are supposed to be doing what, while my hips are moving in ways not intended by nature, and I'm supposed to keep my balance through this whole thing and not run into anyone else? and add zills into that?)

[Random Girl]

I HATE ZILLS!!!!!

Ok I like zills so long as I do not have to do anything but stand there and count in my head

BA-kla-VA BA-kla-VA IS VE-ry GOOD!

[Viola]

Ditto, which is why I won't be making it to Level III anytime soon.  :\  *sigh*

[MissBubu]

That reminds me, I have to find my zills and fix the elastic on them. I'm starting out in level one again - there are certain things I'm not sure if my body can do with ease at this point.

This was sooooo much fun but I am soooooooo sore today.  I used muscles I didn't know I had...who am I kidding, I don't even use the muscles I do know I have    Thanks Leyla for finding this for us!

No problem!

So are we getting cinnamon rolls or more cookies from the bakery next door Saturday?  Nom nom nom.  It's so hard to resist with the lovely scents drifting into class.

[Synnovea]

*giggle*  I should say nothing but I am sure I will cave once the smells of baking bread start wafting in while I am shimmying. 

[MissBubu]

I think I'm joining you on Saturday morning. I finally was able to make it to class last night, but I'm already a class behind, and I won't be making it to class next Wednesday night.

Great Harvest has good sandwiches too.

[Viola]

omg, no kidding.
I always have to restrain myself from that bakery.

I was out of town last weekend, and tomorrow is the mead run....  but it's Level I, so I won't miss anything by going to the third weekend.    I swear I'll meetcha'll there next Sat!

[MissBubu]

Crap - can't make it today, have to take mom and her dog to the vet. Max has fleas.

[Leyla]

Well that works ok cuz Synnovea and I aren't going to make it today either.    I might be doing a make-up class though next wednesday evening since I'll be out of town next Saturday as well.

Hi everyone,  I just noticed this thread.  I just started taking belly dancing lessons in Dubuque, Iowa.  Had the first class on Tuesday.  It's so much fun!  There are 8 of us ladies in the class, all "of a certain age," and we all know that we will never, ever perform on any kind of stage, so there's no pressure.

I ached like all heck after the class, but I've been practicing and practicing the basic combinations we were taught.  And what great exercise!  Maybe the next time Steve and I get back up to MN for faire, we can get together and compare what we've learned.  I love it!

Have fun and keep dancing!

I won't be at class on Wednesday, we've got tech this week for the Fantastick's.
