They say you can learn anything in New York City and they are right. If you like dance and are looking for something different, and if you are a bit adventurous, then think about taking Belly Dancing Lessons. It is great exercise and the cost is really minimal. It would be a great idea to get a group of friends and go together, it would kind of like having your own support group just in case you are a little timid about doing it on your own. Not to worry, though the teachers are very professional and they will put you at ease very quickly. It is a great way to learn about the culture of different countries. There is more than one style of Belly Dancing, each county and region has a style that reflects their history and couture. And just think of the amazement on the faces of your guests at your next dinner party when you demonstrate your new skill.
