I hope that I will find others here that I can chat with. No one I know is interested in bellydance. It sure helped to flatten my tum, something that those of us at 40yr mark have to do.

Hi Qimissung,
Isn't "Cassandra" somewhere in Minnesota? If so, not sure she would be near you.
40 miles...hmmmm, if that is one way and you are able to time and money wise, and the teacher is good...it could be worth it. For four years I travelled about 90 miles one way to study with a teacher 1 - 2 times a week. I made the trip more often some weeks for rehearsals because I was also in her troupe. Yes, I finally hit travel burnout, but I feel it was all worth it for how much she helped me grow as a dancer. I wish I had time to travel to study with her more!
