Anyone here dance? I'm studying Middle Eastern / Belly Dance. I'd be interested in opening discussions with other dancers. Maybe if there is a enough interest, we can get a forum of our own, then have sub forums for the different styles of dance.
I dance!!!! I love it, I have never formally studied anything for a long time, but I will take a few lessons in everything and take something away from there.
I have done tap, calssical, ballet, jazz, modern, folk-dance, bootscooting, ballroom, everything and anything. I did a couple of classes in belly dancinga nd it is definately much harder than it looks.
Kooka, can you do that gross thing where you make your belly move so it looks like waves/ water? I tried, and failed. lol.

Gross? It's very cool in a dance sequence, and yes I can do it. It takes a whole lot of practice. I learned each difficult move by doing "isolations" over and over and over again. When I learn a move, I don't try to put it in a dance, but rather, I do it by itself until it becomes a natural feeling.
I'm learning Zills now. I would like to learn the Dumbek (spelling?) but good grief I have to work on rythem! The song I'm writing has a flute peice, cool rythem you get when you put rice in a Pringles can and shake it, and some thunder sounds. I'm going to learn all the instruments so I can record the music, then dance to it.
I'm glad someone here dances too. Do you make your own costumes?
I am a dancer. Not professionally, but at one point in my life I considered it. I'm too short. I have studied ballet, jazz, modern, baton, belly dance, hula, and salsa.
I never got that far in my training. I only studied for a few months. I used to hate practicing isolations but they helped my abs look great. I felt so sexy when I was belly dancing. It's hard though. I love shimmies. I have the type of body that looks good when you shimmy.

I would also like to learn ballroom dancing.
I love to dance, I did belly dancing for a while and I even got paid for a couple performances, I've also studied, jazz, tap, hip-hop (my fav.), ballroom and waltz, salsa, mexican, tango, classical, line and square dancing, and many others (everything except ballet)
hey yall! im a 13 yr old supastar wanabe who is determined to make my dreams come true! i sing, rap and dance but im white and live in ireland which is why the minute i turn 18 im movin to america 2 make my dreams reality. thats my story, whats yours?
Well I had that dream too, I wanted to be a back-up dancer for janet jackson then later for britney spears. I had big plans, Ii studied dance was top of my class for two years and wanted to go to the Acadamy of Performing Arts here, but I had some problems and dropped out of school instead.
Don't let your dream die lil neo, I let mine fly away and there is not a day goes past i don't wonder "what if ....". Follow your dreams wherever they take you and always try your hardest, so you can at least say you tried, which is more than I can say for myself.

for some odd reason, while the word "Ganya" was still just a thought-dropping in my head, I thought it'd only be four letters. But apparently it's five. yep.
