I can move my torso

[primsong]

I realized as my next round of classes started up this week that I've been in bellydance for over a year now, which made me realize that I can finally move my ribcage from one side to the other enough that it is visible when dancing! This sounds like a ridiculous milestone, I know, but believe me - when I was trying and trying to go side to side and it felt like my side muscles were working and half my body was flying off in one direction in a determined way and I would streeeetch and look in the mirror only to discover that it didn't even show...! Well, to have enough range of movement for it to show up is a great encouragement. ;-D

Starflower has her Irish dance starting up again this week as well, which for me means an hour that I can use for writing and editing in my trusty old notebook. All good things, I hope.

Absolutely! When I was doing it I noticed that I was much lighter on my feet and was actually walking differently! I also felt far more sexy than I had done previous to lessons, and people noticed that my movements were more fluid.

It doesn't matter what shape or size you are; belly dancing always looks beautiful.
