Yup, this was x-posted.

Well wow. Just wow. As I have told others before I feel full. I feel accomplished - the event went well and I am now once again General Skills certified AND ATS(r) Teacher Training certified. I had fabulous friends help me in organizing and bless those who helped me clean up the event locations on Saturday and Sunday. Wow my body is sore and my mind is thrilled. It is hard to describe how amazing the event was. I have never organized an eight day event and it was wonderful. I still have a few loose ends to tie-up, but that is fine. I am looking forward to framing my certificates. And dancing again.

New Belly Dance Class
"Through Heaven's Eyes"
[info]d_c_m
Hello! Come join me at Panache Dance Studio for belly dance class!

Belly Dancefit for Every Body!

Mondays: 6:00-6:50 pm.
January 10-February 28

Location: Panache School of Ballroom & Social Dance,
311 E Winslow Road, Bloomington, IN  47401.

It's time to get fit the old fashioned way - dancing! This belly fit class will introduce you to belly dance and help you get fit. Be prepared to work every muscle in your body, especially your core, and work up a sweat too. Note that this is a no- to low-impact dance form so every body can do it, feel good, and smile!
Each class session lasts for 50 minutes and includes stretching.
WEAR: It is best to belly dance in loose fitting clothing and be barefoot. If you don't wish to be barefoot ballet slippers are recommended. Skirts and hip wraps are also a good idea to wear as they accentuate the movement of your body and hips.
COST: 8 weeks is only $57 or $43 with student ID.
REGISTER: Contact Panache School of Ballroom & Social Dance at 812-822-0050. You can also register via email at info@panachedance.com.
