First Belly Dancing Class

This a.m. I dashed off to the mall in pursuit of workout clothes for tonight's belly dancing course. I found some items for myself and Mom, and each item only cost $4!! I was overjoyed to find such a good bargain,especially since they were designer clothing!! Once this mission was accomplished, I stopped by to see Mom, and I stayed there for awhile. Then I drove back home and took my time getting dressed for the evening class. I picked up my sis on the way to class, and boy oh boy, my body was in shock---it still is..lol! We began with yoga stretches and then proceeded to work on our fluidity and femininity. We learnt many different belly dancing movements. And for awhile, I felt a bit overwhelmed, but the instructor was soooooo helpful and she worked on me one-on-one! This was our workout (or so I thought!) Then our belly dance instructor told us that we were going to commence with the workout. We learned more positions and movements, and at times, I felt like I was a tad challenged. But, I am so motivated, and I truly want to be able to dance like our teacher. She moves her stomach just like Shakira---it's so awesome!

I do believe that my case of insomnia will vanish tonight since my body is all tuckered out with the two hours of intensive dancing.
