Hipnotic Belly Dancing: Uninspired
http://hipnoticbellydancing.blogspot.com/2009/07/uninspired.html
Thursday, July 2, 2009. So, as it goes right now, I teach about 7 hours of dance per week. I don't know if thats a huge amount, I don't know if thats too little.

We exist with our fat hips and crooked noses, our flabby arms and stretch marks, our short legs and bikini un-worthy bodies. Self-consci...

Wednesday, June 3, 2009. First Hipnotic Belly Dance Meetup. So, we had our first official Hipnotic Belly Dance meetup on Sunday, May 31st. What a great time! Going around the table introducing ourselves, I realized that although everyone has a different reason for being a belly dancer or being interested in belly dancing, the bottom line was really self-confidence- either having some or needing a bit of a boost. We need to take all of that back! Maybe we can accept ourselves and others for who we are, wh...
