I have to share my love of belly dance and it's benefits. A little back ground, I'm a SSBBW, 42 yrs old and hate any form of exercise, for the most part. Last year, I developed an ankle issue, but never went to the doctor ... in the mean time, some coworkers invited me to a belly dance class, strictly for fun. I was hooked immediately, it's not only been beneficial to my body, but empowering as a woman as well. Six months of classes, has basically made me a new woman, my ankle and knees have never felt better. I belong to a BBW Belly Dance yahoo group and many of the members have expressed similar experiences, no more back pain, no more ankle pain, no more pain at all. I'm not saying it's a fix all, but I do feel the difference, when I don't go to class regularly. Another thing I love about belly dance is many of the dancers actually have a belly and dance proudly. It's empowering to be in such control of your body, isolating one portion at a time or letting it all go. Give it a try, it's changed my life.
