Belly Dancer Charts

Post by Dawn »

My two little girls are currently learning how to Belly Dance and I wanted to make them a card or a picture of a Belly Dancer to encourage them to keep on practicing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might be able to get a chart from please?

Thanks

Oh I love that second link, If only there was a gemeni bellydancer in there.

If you want a card sized bellydance, pick up issue 138 of the world of cross stitching, there's a section with all kinds of dancers, including belly dance.

I hope they enjoy dancing. I think Belly dance is one of the best dances for women because it encourages you to be confident in your figure, and not to succumb to the daft idea that you need to be miss twiggy! Because larger figures are wonderful for dancing. It's a real confidence booster and so much fun.

Oh thanks for the help guys :)

That second link has one callled Dawn that I'm tempted to get for myself. I'm taking classes as part of my attempt to loose weight (its a fantastic cardio workout)

I'm heading out to the craft store later I'll be sure to check for that magazine Angel.

I'm tempted by aquarius and innocence. ^_^

Are you enjoying it? I love to belly dance myself. I don't get to go to classes though as I work nights. I hope that you can find the magazine, it's not the current issue though.

I love it, I go to class on a thursday night (I work nights aswell and thats my only night off) at my local sports centre the teacher is so friendly and really really helpful.

Its a shame the second link doesn't have a Gemini (my star sign) but I've emailed the site and asked if there will be one coming soon :)

My local shop has a lot of backdated mags so hopefully I'll be able to find the one you mentioned.

oh, if they say there is you'll have to pass it along. I'm also a gemini!

I've found a few classes, but they're all either on nights I'm working or else far too early for me to ever get up in time for. T_T I've been learning from DVDs, and I'm doing ok for now, but snake arms are eluding me :P

If its any help Angel neither can I.

I found the magazine you mentioned I'm going to make it in to a card as soon as I've finished the mother in laws birthday cards :)

Thanks again for all the help.
