Belly dancing

I tried belly dancing at the Y tonight. It is really very much fun as long as you get over your "my body doesn't move that way" thing. The class was full and there were all different ages from young to old. Almost everyone had a hip scarf belt with rows of jingling coins and these special sandals. Yes, there are special sandals to dance in, sandals that cost $35.00. I always thought it was done bare foot but what do I know!?! I'm just a rookie who probably looked like a fish out of water plopping around the gym. If you get a chance, try belly dancing!
