another new dancer here. My first encounter with belly dance was through seeing an amazing performance by Wine and Alchemy at a Ren Faire, and then seeing people doing it at a party at Pennsic. I had no idea how expansive and varied this type of dance is, though, until I started lurking here and looking for classes in my area. TBH it is/was kind of overwhelming! So many different types and styles, and fusions and...wow. :shok: I'm getting the impression one could study their whole lives and still not know everything. Which is really exciting to me because I'm an opera singer and while I love it, that world is very much about doing the same handful of operas over and over and over again and not taking a lot of risks on new composers or obscure operas. Belly dance is exciting to me because it's just the opposite: loads of new ideas and people doing interesting things with it.
Anyway I finally just started taking classes and am loving it. Not sure what else to say, so I'll sign off with what looks like a dancing lemon: :dance:
