I dance, more specifically I bellydance. Besides that I have also learnt other forms of dance like hip-hop, jazz and adult ballet. I have tried salsa and somehow my knees refused to co-operate, so I could fake it if I have a great dance partner, but I don't really know the actual salsa besides some basic steps. I think I have also tried waltz, rhumba and cha-cha before, but those are so long ago and so basic I could barely remember. So anyway, I have decided to stick to bellydance as it suits my pace/body better :p Bruises on knees when doing floor-work for hip-hop is not fun at all.
I took up a course on sensual dance (similar to exotic dance) as I was curious to see what it entails. As the instructor also bellydances, the core was similar to what I know. The other difference was the adding on of lap-dancing, dancing with chairs/benches, against the wall/mirror, writhing on the floor as well as doing a strip-tease dance. Very ooomph!
Certain songs are sensual by nature with beats which are perfect for figure-8s, body waves and just making your bodies look like jello, soft and pliable and flexible.
Had nothing better to do, and so I was looking at YouTube and watching the mtvs of songs.
Pussycat Dolls - Buttons
A perfect example of exotic dance with its chair/lap dancing and bits of crawling on the floor. Reminded me of the dance class :p
Addictive feat. Rakim - Truth Hurts
Another bellydance favorite song for performing.
Sting feat Cheb Mami - Desert Rose
Fantastic bellydance song too :)
