Belly dancing

Mandy and I signed up for a belly dancing class on Wednesday nights. I ended up sitting out the class and just watching, since Shelby started crying in the child care room and needed my lap....and my poor belly immediately reminded me that I had just had major abdominal surgery eleven weeks ago. Apparently a lot more internal healing is needed before I belly dance, but I was enthralled.

The class was full of about thirty women of all ages, sizes and weights. Mandy was one of the youngest. The atmosphere was intensely feminine, but not slutty at all...I thought it was enchanting. I really enjoyed watching one hefty woman in her sixties or very early seventies shake her stuff! What empowerment.

Now I am surfing the internet for great dance costumes that are not sleazy. I found a lovely silk one on ebay, but unfortunately our funds are rather slender right now...

But just wait until I can shimmy with the rest of them!

That sounds like so much fun...

I've been secretly wanting to take a belly dancing class.

Maybe I should look into ;)

Yes, I imagine sitting out for a little while is in order. But sounds like fun.

I have actually really wanted to take classes like that myself, but haven't found any. Sounds like a lot of fun! :)

And do we think we're ready yet??? We(over here) think NOT. You CAN re-injure that incision...of course you know that I would NEVER comment unless I had first-hand misery. Well, most of the time. LOLL

Love ya, Darlin'
