If you've ever shaken your booty toShakira, you may think it would be easy to learn belly dancing at home. Well,yes ' and no! I'm a natural 'booty-shaker' so I found iteasy to pick up the belly dance basics without much help from a teacher.However, not every woman has a naturally flexible torso - in fact, I'malways surprised how many women find it hard to wiggle their hips.
In fact, we all start out with aflexible body, but some of us gradually stiffen up thanks tolack of exercise, or the wrong kind of exercise, as we grow anddevelop. If that applies to you, then trying to teach yourselfbelly dancing at home will only result in frustration. A few bellydance classes with a good bellydance instructor will set you on theright track and are well worth investing in.
