Men wiggle in on the female art form

Say so and because I am wholly honest in what I say where perhaps what I say may be too honest as I do not have that social tolerance filter, please, I ask my friends here to at least ask me to reign it in as I don't know otherwise and times I am keeping away is through dread I have created a...

Quite simply, how to dance sensually ? How would instructors on here teach sensual dancing ? And of those that do try, how successful are you with your students regarding this of which I am understanding is not as easy as it seems ? For the opposite of sensuality is fear and fear most of us...

Yeah, that is my perception of myself and why I am not here so much these days as some may be aware I have at least found out why I am somewhat gender sensitive and attracted to belly dance, where if I can extend myself, I hope to join the troupe this year as it has been suggested I go to...

Having been advised to check out Beata and Horacio Cifuentes on Youtube, I try to but I click on their videos and they most often won't play and on some occasions they cause havoc to my computer, where the video that won't load freezes up the tab where the only way out is close the tab. Is...

What the hell is it I do not know but I seem to be slowing down, slowing down in that I just can't move my body fast enough to keep up with the movement, where it seems I excel in the slow sensuous stuff of which I liken to moving meditation, where i do have fluid movement but when speed is...
