So I've got a new feminine outlet--belly dancing. I was over at a platonic GG's place, who doesn't know I Cd, and she showed me some Youtube videos of her dance troupe. It was great. Well, then she tells me some guys do this form of dance. Not a lot, but some apparently. She showed me some more videos of men doing belly dance and said one of her instructors is male. I of course was intrigued.
She offered to show me some moves but insisted that I wear a hip scarf because it had the dangle coins attached that gave immediate feedback of how you're moving. I was all in. I must say the hip scarf is pretty sweet, never wore one before. But I will again :)
Anyway, we did an instruction video together and I was very happy to oblige. The movements are beautiful and made me feel great doing them. And I wasn't half bad for a first timer she tells me!
Just wanted to share. Like I said, this is new. I researched some of the outfits afterward and will probably get at least one--the girly kind of course. And the dancing was actually tough physically so will be a new super fun workout.
Anyone else done the Belly Dance?
