I received belly dancing lessons for my birthday. I had never tried it before, and I was looking forward to learning something new. Of course, it is always great to discover new and interesting ways to stay fit. After six weeks of dancing I definitely noticed changes in my body, especially my abs.
Belly dancing, also known as raqs sharqi, or raqs baladi, (meaning oriental dance/dance of country in Arabic) is an ancient, traditional dance, with colourful costumes, and props. It is preformed by men and women (but mostly women, especially in the west) for celebration, and festive events.
