Since I've been learning what I can from youtube and the DVDs I have, I am excited to start a class with others. I even choreograph dances in my mind (stormtrooper outfit and fusion dance to "Smooth Criminal.") I just can't see myself doing these dances. Maybe in time.
You might like Dawn O'Brien. She's a friend of mine and does some very original fusion performances.

Yep, physical co-ordination, musical interpretation - and then think about costuming. Although if your music fits your costume I suspect it isn't belly dance you want to learn.I'm just thinking a lot of black with silver trim and boots (I saw a gothic dance done with black boots). Maybe I should just hush and concentrate on learning my moves...
Yea! This is what I'm talking about! Tribal fusion. When you got it, flaunt it! I don't know why I like this style so much, but it just grabs me.
Does she teach?

I'm overweight and not much to look at
Yes, and what's surprising is that for many of them, you would never know they were over 30. There is something in this dance that encourages a curvy body while discouraging wrinkles. It's magic
I started my bellydancing at 40!!!
I really enjoy having great time with my young friends, as well as older dance sisters
My teacher is in her 60s, and she is the most beautiful and the best dancer I have ever seen.
Go girl!!!
