I had told myself that I really could not afford to take dance lessons of any kind without a job. So good thing I got a job at the pub! I went to belly dance class on Wednesday. There were about 40 girls in the class, and I felt bad for about 30 of them. The teacher was really not very good. She would demonstrate a move one time, then say "it is good, ya?" and expect everyone to follow along. I didn't mind, since this is year 3 of belly dancing, and I knew what she was doing, but I would have gotten very frustrated if that had been the entire instruction. While we were doing a copying a move, with no instructions of how to do it other than "push!" the instructor would circulate, helping maybe one or two students. With 40 in the class, there is no way she could have seen everyone.
All in all, I had fun at the class, and got a good workout, but I learnt nothing new, and I don't think I will for the whole term. I need to decide if I am doing this class just f the workout, and if so, I think I will continue.

Maybe you should start teaching belly dance. Or even highland. That would get you in shape, and eliminate the stupid teacher issue.
I don't know that I could teach belly dance, becase I'm not really sure that I could break down the moves any better. And also, I don't know enough of the termenology and background and stuff to really feel that I should be teaching. Just because someone else is bad, and I might be better still does not mean I am good enough. As far a teaching highland, that would not get me in shape. I just stand at he front of the room and yell.
