I started belly dancing just over a year ago after realising that I needed to do something at uni to keep me busy in the evenings and to relax after doing uni work. We get to perform at loads of different events throughout the year which is always fun and I've met some really lovely people and great friends through the process. Many people think that its some sort of sexy/sleazy dance but it really isn't, it is more artistic! It traditionally originates from the middle east but there are many different styles and variations to the dance, we have been lucky enough to have a great instructor who teaches us the different styles each week. The best thing about dancing at uni has got to be that we don't take ourselves seriously like the other dance groups on campus which has made the classes really relaxed and enjoyable, it also keeps you fit! We recently got to perform at Campus Festival which was a huge event at uni, it was really fun but also quite sad as it may be the last time I get to perform before I graduate in the summer! I'll just have to go back and visit next year and find a class at home!
