After two weeks of not being able to get to a bellydancing class, I was so happy last night that I managed to make it. It was deliciously exhausting, too. Bellydancing works the muscles in my torso a lot more than anything else I've done in my life, and it's a very different dance-style from ballet. Ballet is pretty much all about the legs and the joints; not so much subtle muscular movements.

I'm probably going to enroll in classes at the dance school that's donating teachers for this leisure class after the class has run its course. It feels good to have weekly dance-lessons again, and it feels really good to happily exhaust myself on something I love.

Music and dance have been passions of mine just as long as reading, and longer than writing and visual art has. I love it all, but dance is the one I get the least chance to spend time on. Thanks to my iPod and laptop, I can enjoy music, reading, writing, and art anywhere, but finding a place to dance when the itch is in my feet is harder.

I miss it so, and it's wonderful to have it back again.

Sounds fun. Some friends of mine have taken/are taking belly dancing lessons and they love it too. ^^
