This is a little glimpse of something I will be wearing tonight. Can you guess where I am going?Belly Dancing!
Yay! It's part of an extra class that my Rosemary Conley organiser is offering. Taster classes in various dancing styles. Last week was Salsa which was great fun, and the music (mostly Ricky Martin) was upbeat and fun. I've tried belly dancing before - once! It was hilarious, fun and painful in equal measures. Painful because keeping your hips moving for an hour becomes a little tiring after a while. Well, after about 5 minutes for me. I'm sure having little legs is a distinct disadvantage.
Last year my husband and I went to Tunisia for a week at Easter and I bought the skirt shown above on a whim whilst walking through the Mdina in Sousse, just in case a 2nd belly dance class should ever materialise. So when I saw the extra class I had to sign up for it. I'm really looking forward to tonight. I'm no good at it but what I lack in expertise I make up for in effort.
Next week? BOLLYWOOD! Watch this space ....
Oh how fun! And it's even more fun that you have that amazing skirt to wear! I've tried belly dancing and you're right - it's not easy. Taking a class makes you appreciate the art when you see someone who is an experienced belly dancer. Enjoy!!! :o)

ReplyDeleteI loved it...I hope you have a fab time...shimmy those coins girl!!!
I also loved the medina in Sousse...except for the bulls head & sheets of tripe hanging up outside the butchers!!
I too would LOVE to see photos!! I'll settle for full details though...
ReplyDeleteFunny, I walked through the medina in Tunis and didn't feel any urge to buy belly-dancing gear!!
Sounds like great fun, I've always wanted to try belly dancing. Maybe I should wait until after the baby is born though, Otherwise it will be belly shaking!!!! ;)
