Get back into it! It is so fun and can be good exercise in the right style and class.

I am a tribal belly dancer It is a wonderful dance style that is very inclusive of differnt body types. I do "improv" style in which we have a shared vocabulary of moves with cues we can use to dance together without choreography. It is a lovely community and the dance itself is beautiful and good exercise.

I love belly dancing, took one class and have not been able to get back to it

Can you recommend a style to start. My hips are always in motion lol.

Sorry I am just seeing this! Where are you located and what style do you like? I personally do a derivative of ATS (American Tribal Style) improvisation. I think it is awesome and it is super inclusive of body styles. It is improvisational dance that looks like it could be choreo. We have a vocabulary of moves we can use and have cues for them that are often imperceptible to the audience. By using them we can dance in a group and be together but create dance in the moment. I *personally* don't like cabaret as much but different people will be attracted to different things.

I suggest looking on youtube at different groups and seeing what you like. I can help you find classes in your area if you would like. For the style I do check out videos of Fat Chance Belly Dance. No, their name has nothing to do with weight but its a cute story. They are based in San Francisco and are known as the originators of the current style. I dance in Florida and our style is a dialect of that.

Just start clicking through videos and note the

names of anything that strikes your fancy and I can help you narrow down the style.

Just sent you a DM

Spare time? I don't even know what that is. LOL. I work full time, I am in grad school, and have a 10 month old baby. I also work out 6 days a week. I would LOVE some spare time. I now spend any free time planning my daughter's 1st birthday. I do spend my free time at work on Pinterest though!
