Jiggling my Jiggly Bits

I wrote a post on New Years eve about Finding your Inner Goddess where I made a promise to try one thing this year - and that was to step out of my comfort zone.

Well the good news is that I have in fact accepted the challenge and conquered it!  I attended my first Belly Dancing workshop last weekend.  There were about 20 of us there - some had been dancing for awhile and others, like me, were new.  There I stood in my black leggings and a tight  strappy black top - not the prettiest of sights I must say.  You could see every roll of - well lets just leave the rest to your imagination here.....

The other ladies were all wearing coin belts or pretty shawls around their waists (note to self - go shopping for a pretty shawl or something).  Then the lesson started.  The instructors name is Natalie and she is brilliant.  She was quite tall and not what I pictured as a dance instructor - she has curves and didn't look like a stick. She made every move look so easy and made us feel at ease.

I have no rhythm, 2 left feet and am as graceful as an elephant.  But somehow it didn't matter.  I loved every moment of it.  And the best of all was that I felt like I had potential.  I can see myself all dressed up on a stage in time to come jiggling my jiggly bits and not being embarrassed by it.

Can't wait for the next lesson - Look out world - here I come....
