~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Trudy and I am in love with Belly dance. I was dared by Author, Pauline Gedge to take belly dance classes a few years ago and found that my 5'8" frame lent itself well to the movements as well as the emotion. I have lost three pant sizes and no longer require medical treatment for a hip injury that I sustained nearly 12 years ago. Belly dance has literally changed my life.
I live in a tiny village on the Saskatchewan border and it didn't take long for people to see the change in my self esteem as well as my body. Women began asking me to show them what it was all about and when I tried to send them to the town where I had taken my classes they refused to make the trip as it is a long drive as well as located on a Military base. After six months of being stopped on the street and called at my home I decided to start a beginners class in town. I spent time in the Isis studio in Edmonton and bought every instructional DVD I could get my hands on and last November I took 15 women ranging in age from 22 to 69 and began explaining posture and basic isolations. It is very popular. I have a waiting list of approximately 20 women who I cannot fit into the renovated restaurant that I use as a studio.
My reason for writing this note is to assure the urban population of belly dancers that the popularity is growing rapidly out into the country side and with any luck, it will continue to grow until everyone can understand the beauty and benefit of the art.
