I did this for my senior project in high school. I had so much fun and my teacher was a hoot. I can even belly dance with a basket on my head.

I don't exactly remember when I started to learn belly dance, but I remember it was in high school - and it was fun :)

I have been belly dancing for 10 years now since i was 17 wow thats a long time lol.... Im in the red dancing lol

I have been belly dancing for 10 years now since i was 17 wow that's a long time lol.... I'm in the red dancing lol   

wanted something to stay physically fit while learning something unusual, this dance fit the bill just nicely!  Stopped at intermediate level as it seemed a requirements to dance in public, and I had no interest in doing this.  I'm an introvert, learned it for my own pleasure and possibly to tap into with a partner in future 

 Sisters Batchlorette party, paid for a belly dancer to teach us all how to belly dance right in my  livingroom. Super fun party! loved everyone writting their name with their hips and dotting the "i" lol <3 u sissy.

Doing this for 9 years now, love it !

It was a great experien:D I made a course :D

I love this style of dance because you need some fat to make it work unlike a lot of dance 

I tried belly dance after a new friend told me she had been taking classes. I was nervous to take the classes, but the moves actually weren't too difficult and after about two months of practice, I performed with the group at a local street fair. I'm glad I got the experience because I have wanted to learn belly dance for many years. It is so much fun and SO rewarding. It feels great to move my body in this new way. The only negative is that the troupe seems to kind of exoticize the dance. I am afraid that it may cross over into cultural appropriation, which I am not comfortable with. I am taking a break from dancing, but may go back for more after summer ends. I just need to do more research.

 Learned all the basics from an amazing woman who set up a dance studio in her home.  She gave us lessons for free. Wonderful experience!

Excellent way to know your body.  Make you sexy even when you think your not.
