Hello everyone & thank you for having this board!
A little about me......
I've always wanted to learn belly dancing but since I'm very uncoordinated I don't usually attempt any kind of dance because it scares small children and the elderly. It's not pretty.
40 yr old grandma, redhead, computer geek (spins propellor on beanie)
Working on getting in shape and lowering my bmi while increasing lean body mass. (weight training & cardio are the current focus and I have a very regimented diet.)(5'4",size 10-12, 161 lbs)
I get bored with exercising so I try to keep dvd's on-hand of various types of cardio. (Tae-bo, pilates, yoga, Belly dancing)
I have 1 BD vhs tape but I don't like it so I never do it.
I have 1 BD DVD which I enjoy - Veena & Neena's Bellydance Fitness for Beginners Basic moves & fat burning.
Goals as they apply to this forum:
Potential obstacles:
I have no intention of ever performing in public because I freeze in front of people. Thus, the IT career. :redface:
I'm sure I've forgotten something you need to know.........

Goals as they apply to this forum:
- Learn to belly dance with correct form.
- Develop a sensual and romantic routine to perform for my better half for his birthday in April 2008. (slower moves? more floor work? etc. etc.)
- Costume appropriately for the routine.
Potential obstacles:
- There are NO BD instructors close enough for me to take lessons.rotest: (The closest one is 50+ miles away and I work 2 jobs so free time is limited.)
- I'll have to rely on VHS tapes and DVD's.
- There are a zillion instructional DVD's for learning to dance and I don't know which one to get next.
- Funds are limited.
