Good Morning and Happy Deadline Day http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/354881.html

I hope everyone had a nice Father's Day weekend - or at least a nice weekend!!

Did you do anything special? Do you wish you had?

Do you wish you had done something a little less "special" over the weekend?

I miss bellydancing classes. I was in one right before Idol. I sucked, but it certainly was fun and good exercise. I still have my belt and loved jingling around in it so much! The scarf work was a lot of fun too!

I have been taking classes for close to 4 years and sometimes I still think I am suck. For me the hardest part is keeping on beat. Prior to taking classes I had no previous dance or music background so that was a struggle. Luckily my instructor was really good at slowing things down and breaking things down to the littlest movement so I could understand them.

My biggest problem is I have a slight dancing background. I had taken Salsa before that and kept wanting to move my hips like you would in Salsa dancing and my instructor had to keep trying to break me of that. Bellydancing is really not like other types, it's more difficult since it's about concentrating certain parts of your body and not others.

My biggest issue was always the arm movements though. Snake arms still elude me to this day. I can get the hip shimmies and the walks down, but my arms look clunky every time.

Arms can be tricky and I struggle with them a lot.

I wish I could find a class near here; the teachers all seem to have shuttered there studios!
