hello?

 

[Gina Marie]

Maddie-now, come on, you know I can't tell you about my 'private' belly-dancing sessions for The Edge!!

Um, me w/this not-so-flat belly doing belly-dancing-yikes

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Haven't taken formal lessons, but with 15 years of ballet, and several years of jazz and flamenco, I can fake it.

At least, I will HAVE to *when* I dance for Edge in Vegas!!!

 

[Discoteque]

WOO HOO!!! I WANNA TAKE BELLY DANCING LESSONS TOO!!!

*wiggle, jiggle, shake 'n' bake...give that Edge all he can take*

Actually, I've been thinking about taking belly dancing lessons now for months...but I'm REALLY shy and inhibited (STOP LAUGHING! I am *SO* SHY!!!), esp. when it comes to doing things in front of people, ESP. something like belly dancing!!

I *know* I can dance (I once dated an african-american guy who told me--heh--that I could "dance like a sistah!"), and I can shake my groove thing and gyrate with the best of them, but I'm still *askeert* to try it!! But since I now have time to do it, I better DO IT, or I will regret it forever!

Hey Jess...maybe you and I can "swivel in the heart" for our Edgie, huh?????

Disco...who WILL be dancing!

I wouldn't get my belly out in public. Wouldn't wish that sight on anyone.

I know the feeling

And that Ab-Doer thing doesn't really work

*oh yeah, I guess it helps to actually use it*

I've been wanting to try this. I get a catalogue of workout videos a few times a year, and there are some videos that teach you belly dancing and kind of show you the basics for a fun workout. I've been meaning to order one of these but I keep forgetting.
Maybe this will remind me.

LOL!!!

Well, I'm good with the hoola-hoop!!

 

[bluesky]

I've done bellydancing...
Actually, I've been dancing ballet and modern since I was 3, along with MANY different kinds of dancing. Including bellydancing.

It is soo fun! It is really hard on your abs though...which is a good thing I guess. It takes a lot of control with breathing and using your diaphragm (not the other kind!!)

This is so ironic that this topic came up, because I am signing up to take another bellydancing class today!

You all should take a class!

[blueeyes]

Yes, I have taken belly dancing classes.
My teacher said I was a natural...then amended that with "You have all the attitude"...I think what needs to be tacked on there is "none of the moves". LOL.
It's great great fun and boyfriends enjoy it when you practice around them

[ultraviolet299]

Never taken formal classes.. and i dont picture myself doing so either.
But I do dance, all sorts of things (ballet, modern, latin, greek).. so i could probably pull something off.

LOL

Another ballerina!! Whohoo! How many years have you been taking it? (...it always excites me to meet another dancer on the board--right Mrs. Edge?)

 

[madonna's child]

well, i have no professional training (in belly dancing, i do have professional training in dance) but i sure try my moves out in my room. "shake it, shake it, shake it!" come here, edge!

i was watching U2's TRL performance the other day, and noticed a girl on the street in a belly dancer costume with a sign that said "on your knees, bono" was that any of you!?

[Niamh_Saoirse]

I have tried belly dancing before and all i can say is: GO FOR IT GIRLIE!!!!! It's soooooooo much fun and it's also good for your hips!!!!

But i have to admit that i'm much better at Irish dancing....I've been taking classes for 2 years now, so i should know a little bit by now, don't you think?

And i also dance Tango...otherwise i'd be kicked out of the country! lol

[mocool12]

Awww, you gals are so cool. I wish I had taken dance lessons! The only dancing I do is @ the clubs, haha. That'd be cool to take belly dancing classes! *way too shy though*

Oh and all you saying your bellies are too big etc....shut it! I've seen pics! I know you are all sexy!

 

[JessicaAnn]

You mean I actually have to use it? Rats! Guess I should start now.

Well...basically since I was 3!! I was in a dance company from when I was 7-14, then I was in another one from when I was 15-18! Now I'm 19, and I really want to start taking classes again....maybe just twice a week or something.

I love that you dance too! Did you say Mrs. Edge danced?
