Just came back from my belly dancing class. Its amazing! I finally can sweat alot at my tummy area! Shook hips for one hour non-stop. Its such a great workout and fun dance to learn. The class was quite fast-paced and the teacher didn't go into the details of the steps as almost everyone seem to already know them. haha. Think I need more practise.

The class started with some basic hip shakes and arm movements (warm-up). Then it progressed faster and faster as the tempo of the music increased. The class ended with a short dance piece choreographed to the steps that we learnt in the beginning.

Think I did okie lah. I was focusing on the teacher's every movement as its my first time.

Some new terms (if I caught it correctly)
Bicycle - use one side of your hip to do a inward circle followed by outwards.
Shimmys - Shaking of hips only on toes while maintaining still upper body. (i did something like a open leg courru)
Chasse - 3 step linking step
Camel - A movement of the tummy forward and backward (like wave) while on toes and bent knee (one leg is in front of another)

More belly dancing tmr!!!! :D
