Haha... it was my life aspiration. May auntie is a professional and she was teaching lessons when I was a kid, so my first lessons were when I was 12-14ish I presume. I can't remember... but since then I've done it off and on through high school, mostly when I had long summer visits with her. But now I've picked it up in college... fuuuun! Shimmy power is sweet.

I'm taking a class right now that is like an Egyptian-Cabaret combo, but usually I've just done Egyptian.

I've done cabaret, Egyptian, and tribal. Tribal is my favorite, but the troupe that I danced with primarily did cabaret.

So, I'm going to try to calm down to type this. I went shopping today and tried on a bunch of jeans. I've been in a 16 for a few weeks, but they're starting to sag quite a bit...so I figured I'd try a 14 just to see. I tried on several 14s and they all fit alright-ish but actually a little too big! I ended up buying one pair of jeans...in a size TWELVE! TWELVE!!!!!!!!!!! I started out in a 22 in June. I am THRILLED beyond belief!!!
Ok, I'm done yelling. ;D
