someone teach me a hip drop?

[forgotten_aria]

I tried a belly dancing fitness video today. It was kind of fun and taught me a few exercises I really wanted to know. (like how to do inner thigh toning without extra machinery and without putting strain on my knees.)

Now I want to be able to do the moves correctly in the video, which means that I need to find somoene to teach me how to do a hip drop.

*perks up* you do???
wow. it's rare that i find a manray-goer who appreciates less-crowded-night. yay!
so, yeah, at some point in the possibly relatively near future, you want to get all gothed-up and meet at manray some wednesday?

My problem is I liked to be walked to my car, since I got held up near there once. I'm happy to exchange rides for being walked to my car.

oosh. sounds unfun.
me, i don't drive. yet (learning). so i either have to rope friends into going and giving me a ride home, or leave around midnight. but that'd be cool, i'd gladly walk you to your car in exchange for a ride^.^ now we just gotta see about getting introduced or meeting in a safe way beforehand, lol...

Yah, that will be the tricky part.

It's too bad you don't play DDR, then it would be easy.

How did you meet xta? Maybe there is a path there?

DDR, eh? yeah...i've tried it, i like it well enough, i suck at it, so i prefer other dance forms^.^

hmmm...i dunno. are you a furry? the way she and i met was because a mutual friend had a furry "camping" weekend and she was there. lol, i don't even know if *she's* a furry...but it was cool meeting her nonetheless.

No, I'm not really a furry.

The MIT game room has DDR. I'm a bit DDR crazy though, so if it's not your thing, it's likely not a good idea.

I suck at other dance forms. I have very little sylte or grace and learn slowly so having machine teach me skills is better than a human instructor.

yeah, i figured it would've been mentioned somewhere in your journal if you were^.^

lol...i dunno. i just have very little coordination when it comes to a mega-sized number pad. i don't think i'm quite ready to give it a try at MIT *laughs and a sheepish grin*

hmmm...machine teach you? do videos count? cuz seriously, the goddess dancing tape is coming out in october i believe. and they are phenomenal. i don't know what the tape will be like but...i'm assuming...
