I had my first belly dancing lesson yesterday. it was a hoot. difficult but a hoot. see, i'm a big girl and moving around is difficult at times. but i love to dance and if anything will help me in many ways its dancing. I enjoy the thought of being able to belly dance. Ive always thought it beautiful and that it show cased the female body in a very flattering way. no matter the body type, if a woman knows how to belly dance, she will enthral me.

I have a dream to have the stamina to still be dancing when the drummers are tired. and then to continue to dance to the music in my head and to the beat of a bon fire. Its something ive wanted to do, but ive been physically held back. im taking steps to take care of the problem, 1st of which was get to a point physically where i could stand up and move around without becoming so winded that i had to sit down. Ive accomplished that. no its at the step where i need to become more active. so, i have started belly dancing class. WOOT ME!

I made it through the first lesson without dying too. I was very happy about that. and aparently i must have been doing things right because the teacher didnt need to work with me very much. she assures me that belly dancing will help me shed inches. not pounds, she says the dancing builds muscles. im okay with that as long as the fat runs away. so wish me luck and pray that my body let me down.
