Do you belly dance, or was that someone else? I just starting taking belly dance classes last month. I was taking them three times a week (an hour or so each) but now only twice a week because the third class was cancelled. I am totally loving it!

  • Her name is Yael Becker (www.myspace.com/yaelbecker).

    She teaches out of a studio in Pelham Bay called Bamboo Moves. I totally love it, I even bought myself a hip scarf! LOL I can't believe what it does for your fitness! I'm so sad they took that third class away. If attendance increases they will re-add it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that! For now I take it on Saturdays and Mondays.

  • Do you also teach it? I can't quite remember.

    My hip scarf was only $15 and it has coins on it, so I didn't think the costumes are pricey!?

  • yes, I teach.  Here's my website: www.danielabellydance.com

    and regarding pricey costumes...you can get a "cheap" costume for under $200, which is good for student shows and such.  But a pro costume is over $400!  All of the costumes on my site cost me at least $350 and up to $500 and I bought all of them used!  New, those costumes average $800.....

    It gets insane! 

    Have you found www.bhuz.com yet? It is a great site with a forum that I have been a member of since 2004.  You can learn a LOT from the ladies on that site, and the swap meet pages are where I buy all my sparklies. :-)

  • I just skimmed both sites. I'll have to look again at home where I am not constantly interupted! I want to check out the cardio belly dance video. Sounds good for an at home workout. We have been mainly learning the actual steps and a routine to middle eastern music. The one that is the most fun for me is something we do to a drum solo.

  • Last night she taught us the figure 8. I felt like such a spaz. It is a lot different moving like that freestyle, compared to the technical way we were taught.
