It sounds awesome tho. Usually can't drag most guys out on a dance floor, much less in front of 200 people! I'm impressed!

I love to watch belly dancers.. it's actually very beautiful.
Did you know that no one is exactly sure where the origins of belly dancing began? Some say it could possibly be 6000 BC , a pagan ritual to prepare women for childbirth. But this article is most likely more fact :
What we called today belly dance, seems to be the specific type of dance that comes from Turkey and Egypt. By looking at the specific movements of belly dance, some say that there could have been an influence coming from India. Indeed some movements, such as the head slides, are found both in Indian dance and in belly dance. Hence, it could be that populations migrating over the centuries from India to the Middle East and northern Africa brought their dance traditions with them, influencing the way local dances developed. Also, I think that belly dance owns a lot, in terms of dance vocabulary, to African dances. If we think about hip and chest shimmies and circles and body undulations, these are also present in African dances and in South American dances that derive from African traditions. However, each dance tradition has changed and adapted these movements so that, for example, shimmies in belly dance have a different feeling from African shimmies.

I got my lessons from a girl with tunisian roots. She was the dream, i was the nightmare part. But i guess about 15-20 minutes of teaching is not enough to bellydance properly.
Did you know I have a Congo African Grey parrot. African Greys have the largest vocabulary and are as smart as a five year old child. My CAG seems to know all bad words with some sweet terms of endearment mixed in. He can carry short conversations. He can also mimic the sound of your voice, so he has always had fun calling my boys (in my voice) and then laughing when they come looking for me. He does the same with the dogs!
I really have always loved watching belly dancers. My last trip to Abu Dhabi we went on a desert safari and dune bashing in the desert .. they had a stop out in the desert for us to eat and get refreshed. Beautiful belly dancers performed. So enjoyable.
Did you know... I am going to bed. HA
just thought I would let that be known

Did you know that elephants can't jump, but they do carry their own luggage?
Did you know that you burn more calories eating celery than it contains? So eat celery lose lose lose!!
Not when I fill the celery with peanut butter or spreadable cheese.
It's not just my images. If the reason most images people upload here are visible while many aren't is about software compatibility, I myself don't understand it and it's okay. I've also noted that some images previously visible to me here no longer are, which suggests the possibility that they have a built-in time limit(?). I think we all do best as we're doing. The vast majority of images posted are visible at least in the Reply window.A lot of blunthead's images won't open for me either. I thought it was my phone.
