I had my first belly dancing class on Saturday. I haven’t laughed so much in ages! This type of dance is certainly a lot harder than it looks. We started by trying to move our hands purely by using wrist rotation – this was incredibly difficult, my excuse was a lifetime of typing has left me with knackered wrists – which could well be true?
Thankfully the hip sliding and rolling came a bit easier to me, thanks to the time spent on my Wii fit doing “hula hoop” – figure of 8, yes i could do that kind of! , then we went onto a hip drop thing………………. wow! that is hard as well!
The funniest thing was half way through the lesson there was an almighty wolf whistle, and we all got excited thinking someone was admiring us from outside – until someone piped up very embarrassed “thats the ringtone on my mobile” darn!!!!
There’s us all thinking we had a fan club!! I am glad to say that i will be going back next week.
