Belly Dancing 101

So, I finally had my first belly dancing session this weekend. All I can say is wow! The professionals make it seem so easy but the reality is that as of now, it takes a lot of concentration. I guess the hardest part is learning to dance while not moving some body parts that I am accustomed to. Yeah some moves are easy, some are somewhat Nigerian... Yoruba to be specific.. while others are like HUH? Its like learning a new language. I like it :).... I feel sexier while dancing and can you imagine that I actually smile when I belly dance (Two things I think I do pretty well that I dont mix is dance and smile). Anyway, so yeah, I have a long way to go before I get to be anything close to Shakiras back up dancer but I'm enjoying the pace and enjoying myself.
