Bellydancing...WhAt?!?!?

OK SO I have been wanting to do some sort of exercise but I'm not sure what yet. One of the other Air Force wives, Laura asked me to go to a bellydancing class with her. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Of course I agreed. So I talked Jennie into going with me. We arrived at the gym a little early only to hear people inside screaming like they were in the worst kind of pain. Come to find out it was a lady I know who's boyfriend is a TACP at the other Air Force office on post teaching the class. She had invited me before but I didn't know if I could handle it. It looked very intense, but maybe I will give it a try. Should know it would be it's called Bootcamp! It was finally 6:00 and time for class to start and we had no idea what to expect. The first 45 minutes we got through fine, with only a few giggles. We did a warm up and started different dance moves, simple enough. It's when the running, jumping and spinning started that we decided maybe we should sneak out the back. But we decided to give it another chance. Half way through the class they took a break and the teacher told us that the class had been going on for a month and they were doing a show. And that we were more then welcome to stay and "dance along" but it might get a little more challenging for us. We gave it a shot and left after the first dance. It was like something you see in the movies. We were running, skipping, jumping, shaking things, it was crazy! AND the teacher gave us some of her skirts with jingles on them to wear! I was laughing so hard I could barely stand much less dance! Needless to say I think we are going to wait until the next one starts and go back at the beginning! Maybe we should stick with Salsa lessons!
