Has anyone ever here tried belly dancing?
I think Jilli has, and possibly Erin.
I know that smonster currently does, but I only see her over in LJ-land these days.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I've done tapes, and it's really very good for your abs and your arms. And it IS fun.
I am so not wordy today.

If I only had a brain...
I'm thinking about it. I figure you can't get much lower-impact.

Yep. I really liked it, and would dearly love to take classes again. I've tried a couple of belly dance work out videos, and found the voice-over woman *very* annoying. V-O Lady: "How are you doing? (pause for two beats) You're doing great!"
Jilli: (gasping, wheezing) "I am not. Hate you. Hate hate hate."

I did the one with the twins -- Neena and Veena, something like that.
"Bellydancing for Beginners."
And they have these pretty clothes, and do little dances at the beginning and the end you can just watch and try to do.

Yep, Neena and Veena. Just don't use the Cardio/Fat Burning one from their line unless you like swearing at the voice-over lady.

Jilli is me. I HATE perky exercisers.

Ah, well in that case, no.
Also, my best friend and I took lessons, and went to the advanced class, which turned out to be not as fun becausee some girl in the class did all the seminars and extra classes and stuff and so would talk endlessly about herself.

I might try tapes or CDs or find a book with the basic moves and practice in the bedroom. The living room is too crowded to be workout friendly. I don't know if I have the mentality to go to classes and have to associate with local women. (Why, yes, I have been accused before of disliking women.) Though it would solve the problem of not wanting to do it where Hubby can see me and say "You're doing it wrong." He just wants to help, you know.

Ah, yes. Pete tried to be helpful like that, too. I told him once he used the video to exercise and could mimic the dancers perfectly, then he could offer helpful criticism.
