Thank you so much for the kind welcome. Yes, I know I will love it! It is so beautiful. Sometimes if I get a minute to unwind I like to just watch a video of some dancing. And I am having fun as I begin to learn about the origins and the different types of belly dance.
My ten year old daughter is very interested in it all, too! She is so sweet...she got all dolled up in a fancy dress and hair ribbons (closest she has to a costume, I suppose) and asked if she could dance and model veils for pictures for me. (Of course, it was about 20 degrees out so I said we'll have to do it the next sunny day when I have things to photograph!) I don't know if there are many classes offered for children or if this is something reserved for learning in the teen years or adulthood? I met one lady with a young daughter who does belly dance but I haven't met anyone else. My daughter could certainly use the confidence I'm sure dance will bring it it is an appropriate thing for her to learn now!
