Belly dancing workshop

I went to a belly dancing workshop this afternoon at Arabesque Academy this afternoon. It was a Single Horizons event.

There were twelve of us and Sarah was our fabulous instructor.


We learned lots of moves including shimmies (top and bottom), figure eights, ribcage circles, belly rolls and hip thrusts. It was a fun workshop but my body doesn't move that way. Ha!

Chia Kitty was there too. His body doesn't move that way either.


Sarah showed us afterwards what a pro looks like.


Sarah and Chia Kitty got acquainted after the class.

    I would love to learn how to do that. But I'm with you - I don't know that my body would move that way.

    Looks interesting but wouldn't be my thing! I've seen it done before. You have to have strong abs.

    Sister Sarah: Actually you should have strong thighs. The strong abs come later.
