That is a giant recipe for injury right there. Put the weights away. And if you are using your 10lb weight belt for two hours a day, then you need to re-think that too.
It sounds like you feel like you are not getting enough of a cardio workout from your practice, which makes sense, since on the whole, bellydance is less effective for cardio than things like running or aerobics.
If you really want to work up a sweat while doing something bellydance related, I would say that you need to develop a deep love for saiidi
Otherwise, it sounds like it's time to pick up some cross training.
