I never thought that bellydancing would be so hard i saw these ladies perform at Via arte at the marketplace and was so inspired because they had all sizes and shapes of women dancing at they all looked to professional and beautiful. I took my first class and it is a workout,but so much fun you dont feel like your working out. If you are a lady or young girl who has any issues with body image or self esteem you can learn a lot from these ladies because they make you feel beautiful in the class. A++++++
