Bellydancing?

You can buy excercise videos online at collagefitness.com or even on amazon.com, just in case you can't find it at Big K.

I want to see how many GCers have tried this. A friend of mine told me about a woman who teaches belly dancing classes in the Orlando area and I'm curious.

Is belly dancing a full body workout or does it specifically target the abs? I think it would be a cool thing to learn and it would also help me with some new club dance moves.

For the Central Florida people who are interested, the website for this place is www.orlandobellydance.com

It doesn't seem too expensive but Longwood is pretty far from where I live.

It's definately a total body workout! It works your legs really well especially.

I have Veena and Neena's, and I really like it. I've kinda quit doing it cause I live in an apartment where there are always like 10 people there, but when I did it, I lost weight, and got nice abs!!

I have bad arthritis in my knees and flat feet which start to kill me when I've been on them for a while. Would this be a good workout for someone in my case? I hate just going to the gym and I want something fun!

It really is a good workout. My friend and I took a class just to be stupid and it ended up giving us a good workout.

I don't think it would hurt your knees and as long as you don't do it for 7 hours then your feet should be fine. It's really fun! But it will make you sore at first......

I tore a ligament in my knee, and bellydancing doesn't hurt any worse than anything else. I think arthritis or any other knee problem would be fine with this.
