A New Year of Dance!

So this week marks a new term of dance classes with Underbelly and I am feeling completely pumped. This year I am taking two classes; I am continuing with the beginners Classic Egyptian class and also taking a Tribal class.

My regular teacher for Classic Egyptian has gone to Egypt for the next three weeks and we have a sub taking her place. The sub is a lovely woman! I had my first class with her last night and she spent time evaluating our posture and correcting it, which is something normally overlooked a little by our regular teacher so I was glad for the tips!. We worked on gaining technique with a faster pace than we were used to and covered several traveling steps, which was so much fun! I can’t wait to see what we cover with her in the next class.

I haven’t made it to a tribal class yet, but a couple of my friends keep telling me how amazing it is, so I am excited to check it out for myself next week.

In addition to getting out twice a week to have some fun with friends, I’m hoping that spending 2 1/4 hours a week doing belly dance will help me start losing a bit of weight. It’s certainly works me into a sweat and it’s a very fun way to get moving!
