Last week, I went to dance with my friends and became to know what is belly dance. I was attracted by this beautiful dance. And now I try to search for some videos to learn by myself first, for my friends have learnt some, I can't follow them if I don't know how to start. One week has passed and I find that I have lost some weight. That's cool. I will try to persist dancing.
Have you ever done belly dance? How do you like it? And do you know whose teaching course of belly dance is good for beginners?
Let's dance.

Belly dancing is a beautiful dance. I am very good at dancing & can wiggle almost every part I have , but I found it impossible to learn belly dancing. I can say that it's NOT as easy as it looks!!!

Try this video on YouTube. If you look, there are more available. I only watched this one. There were links to buying the outfit also just in case you're interested!!!

I couldn't get into it last night either. Seems the site was having problems. The notice said they hoped to have it fixed soon. So maybe try it again. It's a video showing you how to do it.

I learned belly dancing from a Korean teacher who came to my country, Philippines. Long before she came, I already admired belly dancers and how gracefully they could move every part of their bodies. Well, the teacher didn't come to the Philippines to teach belly dancing though, she came to accompany Korean kids for an English camp but out of habit, she found time to practice belly dancing in the afternoons and it was her way of exercising. So I joined her and I learned. But now that I'm pregnant, I am not sure if it is still okay to do belly dancing.For beginners you can find many in youtube. It has many videos on different moves and you can do them slowly at first and if you're already good at them, you can find those that are really long dances and try to imitate them. Good luck, shake those hips and do the shimmer!!!

Oh, I am not really good at belly dance yet. But I find that when I dance, I sweat a lot, which makes me feel good. Thanks for your sharing. And I think now that you are pregnant, if you want to do some exercise, you can try yoga. There is yoga for the pregnant. Best wishes for you and your baby. :D

Well thank you... I'll try to find some yoga exercises for pregnant women on the internet. I'm sure it will be a lot of help. Have a nice day!

i started belly dancing out of curiosity if i can do the shimmy. then as my interest in the art expanded, i now pratice it at home, downloaded my own belly dancing playlist.you could try watching some clips and links from youtube.that's how i started . no need to enroll in classes which might cost you more. make it just part of your morning exercise, and practice more until you get used to the moves. learning the basic moves and choreograph your own bellydance is fun. when me and my friends get together, we try to do bellydance moves together for fun..it is really good exercise, and works up a sweat pretty well..and makes you feel good and sexy too after dancing. even my hub belly dance with me now. he likes it too, and more when he watches me. you could even do the tummy tucks while at work, that how i got my abs used to the tummy moves.
have fun belly dancing!
