Hi all,
I am new and not a dancer.
I would like to learn to belly dance and have been surfing the net of various sites and reading.
I came across a site that said if you have a sway back (pants don't fit neatly into back - some gap) that you would have very weak glute muscles and therefore would not be able to do a hip bump.
Is this true?
I have a sway back, not too bad I don't think but I definitely don't have any glute muscles. I cannot isolate left or right glute at all and am wondering whether there are just some people that no matter what will not be able to bellydance. Am I in this category.
I have not started to dance but have bought a DVD (from surfing this site) that would suit the beginner. I don't want to take a class until I know whether I am wasting my time or not but thought a cheap DVD wouldn't hurt to have fun with anyway.
Thanks for any replies.
I am 46 so that would have some bearing on my muscle strength and ability I guess.
Regards
Wendy
