Back to belly dancing

Thirty years ago I started belly dancing at a college evening class. We enjoyed it very much and we went on to become a group that performed including at Covent Garden in London.  I was in this for ten years then the teacher stopped being with the college and moved the class a long way away to do it privately.  I was teaching at the time and didn't have time for a long drive as well as the class so stopped going.

The belly dancing teacher was in the pantomime that I was involved with and she told me that she'd started a new group in Ellesmere.  I was pleased to start dancing again today and two of the ladies there were also from the original group.

I have the full performance costume but we're not dressing up, just wearing a belt so here I am posing in front of the mirror.  I was rusty as I hadn't done it for 20 years but hopefully it won't take too long to be back up to speed.  It's great exercise as well as good fun!
