Belly dancing is very nice but it’s very difficult , every one can’t do it very well unless to be trained by professional trainers, I like Latin dance with a partner …........hum hum hum changing weight from one foot to the other it’s very sensual and romantic.

I heard of belly dancing but not heard of different kinds of it. I had seen the belly dancing in the past time, a long time ago. I would think I could love it if I took part it. But I had no chance. The belly dancers are very sensual and courageous. I admire them. The belly dancing is a very good sports.

Yes. It is very fun to try it. I would think I always have a dream in my heart that I could dance the belly dancing one day.
