    30 minutes of any dancing would be beneficial, but you should know something.

    You cannot control where your body burns fat. There is no such thing as choosing an activity to burn fat in a specific area, so just let go of that idea.

    That said, if you enjoy bellydancing, it's exercise, so give it a try.

    Any exercise is beneficial!!! I believe belly dancing would definitely help do the trick because you are working your abdominal muscles while you are doing the dance so YES belly dancing is definitely a good thing!!! In fact......I might start it too!! lol

    I tell ya, I swear by hula hooping. It's fun, and it's focusing on your middle. You can't spot LOSE, but you certainly CAN spot TRAIN, i.e., work a specific muscle to grow that muscle. If you want muscles there, you gotta work that specific region. But everybody is right, you won't see it anyway if it's covered in fat (like mine!).

    I reckon it would tone up your tum a bit and make you a bit more flexible too but I don't think it would specifically burn the fat there - as others have said already.

    Having said that it's something I've often fancied trying and I intend to have a go when I've lost a bit more.

    Let us know how you get on with it? xx

    I belly dance for my university team and let me tell ya it is great for giving you a well-controlled and toned core!! Go for it! Nothing like being able to manipulate your belly at will ;)
