Glad my first class wasn't like that! Actually I found belly dancing gentler and less muscle-aching than any other dance style I've tried. Maybe I've just been going to the wrong teacher (or the right one!) LOL, you make it sound like a torture chamber! Glad my first class wasn’t like that!

You described it all perfectly! I was attempting to demonstrate the lesson learned last night to my officemate and I barely was able to get all of the instruction out just to get in the basic pose and I had to shake it out! LOL. I am definitely waiting for someone with some rolls to walk in there and effortlessly excute a shimmy causing my mind to not focus on the tummy rools but the hip movement. I also want to hear it from the "cow's mouth" that a group of three fat pockets is fine with her and that she loves them so much more now that she has expereiend and harnessed her womenliness from raqs sharki! I have to admit, while showing everyone at work what I learned today, I was not thinking aboutmy pouch or my rolls at all. I was total concentrating on making my hip shimmy correctly and roll perfectly. So maybe that is how you get to the point where you "love" your body...you block it out to deal with the pain and total concentration needed to do the art! LOL. Love ya! See you on Sunday and then again on Monday...practice practice practice! And yes, the "Sexy" shirt will be back! LOL! You described it all perfectly!
