Very nice work! Thank you for using my texture! :)

Lovely! Your photo goes very well with the background you chose! :clap:
I've recently gotten into this style of dance, although I have no classes near me. I'm hoping to find some classes soon. :)

Thank you for kind comment! Don't worry about lack of classes - I know it's not the same but there are lots of great instructional DVDs so you can learn something on your own. Try looking for some workshops too - they're always worth attending, even if you have to travel! I'm pretty sure you'll find something interesting :)

Well for now I'm learning via youtube. lol There's a channel called Expert village and they have some VERY helpful videos. :)
I even got my mother interested in the more traditional forms of bellydance. :) I would LOVE to go to a workshop! It would be amazing!

Oh workshops are amazing indeed! It's great when you can learn directly from a dancer that you admire - and even more important - when she's telling you how to improve your dance. Expert village videos are very good :) I 'm using DVDs much more often - my favoutites are by Rachel Brice (pretty obvious), Ariellah (her drills are really helpful) and Fat Chance Belly Dance. I find also yoga and pilates very good for my technique (especially when it comes to posture and control over my muscles) - it's easy to find some classes of them so I think it's worth trying!

oh yeah I've started yoga and palates(spelling?) both too! :D I was doing palates before anyways, but now I'l doing yoga as well. :)
My grandmother just keeps shaking her head saying I'm going to get tired of it, but this is something I've dreamed of before I even knew about it! :D suonds strange, I know, but it's true!

Exactly! :) I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.
Some of my family just laugh when I tell them that I've started practicing, but I tell them I'm completely serious, and they aren't sure what to think until I show them videos of other dancers and they can see why I think it's such a beautiful art form and why I want to do it so badly. I've always had confidence issues, but already, I can feel I'm becoming more comfortable with myself and I don't feel nearly as awkward/clumsy as I used to. I think this will definitely be a good change for me. :)
