I just finished posting about this in my journal.

I am currently doing the BFL challenge and have also used my treadmill in the past for exercise.

However, this year I decided to take up belly dancing as I had always wanted to learn how to do it. Just finished my first course and am waiting to start the next level in two weeks time.

I have caught the bug quite badly so I have been practicing almost everyday since I started my classes and I agree with you it can be gentle but it can also be very energetic.

My muscles are constantly sore from learning the new ways of control and movement and I work up quite a sweat as I practice that control.

Just love it!

neener_15 has also started belly dancing to a tape.
