i've been taking belly dancing lessons now for a few months, and am really, truly loving it. i've never before encountered any sort of class that makes me so happy. no matter if i'm sleepy, grumpy, or incredibly cozy in my apartment, i always want to go, because afterwards i am completely refreshed and happy.

my teacher, while she doesn't necessarily teach exactly the way i'd like, is so beautiful and graceful that i am mesmerized by anything she says and does. she has this way of speaking that is just so calming and soothing - almost spiritual. last nite we were speaking to another girl in the class who was also evidently quite spiritual about her belly dancing experiences. she said that she started belly dancing because she really wanted to get in touch with her feminine energy, and that all other dance forms were wrought with masculine energy. okay, maybe i'll buy that. i nodded my head in agreement. then she goes on saying that when she dances, she can really feel her womb healing. i nodded to that one too, because, really - what else can you do? maybe i just haven't gotten that far in my lessons to understand that the soreness i feel the next day is not because i'm excerising my abs, but because my womb is slowly healing. yes, yes, that must be it.
