Lackie- You should try and take a class somewhere first to start, at least to learn the basic technique and make sure you're doing everything the right way. And you have to build up to do all that shimmy! It takes shimmy power!
Haha I might just have to I want that shimmy power! How long have you been doing bellydancing(or is it how long have you been dancing.)?

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.
Paradoxx- I just take classes when I get the chance. I've been doing it off and on for 9 years, since I was about 14, but I've never aspired to the point of performing solo or in a troupe. Haha... it comes in phases for me, though I've been enjoying it a lot more the past few months again. What style do you dance? 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!!!
So I got on the scale yesterday and it said 195, Tuesday is my official weigh day so I decided to wait and see, But today the scale said 195 again so I'm making it official!!! That's 3 pounds in a week!
