Mixed emotions of nerves and excitement overwhelmed me as I entered the UTSC dance studio Monday afternoon. I took my first EVER instructional class at UTSC - belly dancing.
The only minuscule knowledge I have of this Middle Eastern tradition is watching any music video by Shakira. I'm truly a rookie when it comes to shaking any sort of body part and keeping a rhythm.
The dance instructor, Zahra, started off with stretches to warm the body. Shaking our legs, moving our hands and arms on a yoga mat, making sure our body was ready for the routine.
Yes. Routine.
She turned on "Tonight I'm Lovin' You" by Enrique Iglesias and said to get into our first position.
F.Y.I - I'm 4 weeks behind the class. I had to catch up to their routine in less then an hour.
Find out my final results in the video below.
Shakira doesn't even know.
Love it! :)
