We have a good friend who belly dances, her group have even got gigs in a couple of her local restaurants. Oh yes, she's 66 and been dancing for years.
"All part of the health service :d" Don't tell me, they've labelled it under 'alternative medicine' now and each session attracts a NHS subsidy.
It's beautuful
heres some chubby ladies dancing. Only 47 seconds, with I could see the rest

I had a girlfriend for a while who was a belly dancer. She learned in SF, before moving up to Eugene. She taught me some moves, and taught me to holler something like, "Shalla! Shalla Habib!!" at appropriate times. It is, indeed, very good exercise. She was quite fit, but still had some meat on her bones. OTOH, I had a friend who was a serious flamenco dancer. She was also quite fit, but all the women who danced flamenco seemed to be whip-thin and rawhide tough. Not my cup of tea for a cuddling pal.
If you've ever seen " Strictly Ballroom" Where the grandmother is dancing ??
like belly dancing, flamenco is graceful and old tubbies do it better IMHO
the whip thin just think they are sexier.
This is a fabulouse scene from the film, pity about the commentary

Maria Pages is probably one of the most famous Flamenco dancers in the world. Not your typical thin and tough. More like thick and tough.

Long ago there was a cellar cafe called The Spanish Cellar in Melbourne city which I frequented often. Started just before the war by a big Spanish woman, flamenco singer and dancer and a thin Russian man who played flamenco guitar. Both political refugees from the Spanish civil war and communist no doubt. She had been famous as a dancer and singer in Spain and visiting companies would turn up at the cafe to listen and join in. Inspired me to take up Flamenco dancing myself at the time and I still like the music.
Belly dancing music not so much but the scale that Arab music uses is interesting and very old.
