> Oh, I always wished I could bellydance, but I'm clumsy as an oaf! Are there any grace classes one can take? Or a confidence pill at least?
You won't believe this, but it helps with all that stuff. You start out goofing around with veils and belts with jingly things and before you know it, it gets all cool and pretty looking.
We practiced in a ballet studio with mirrors on 2 walls. I tried hard not to watch myself, or else I would have bolted out of the room. About 6 weeks into it something clicked. Before that I was falling over if I turned around, and taking spectacular dives by sliding on my veil.
It's like playing dressup. You can pretend you're a bellydancer :)
