Sorry for the lateness. There are many songs that I have/love, and I'm honestly not sure where they came from. :blushing: Are you interested in more traditional/classic music or more modern pop Middle Eastern artists? A couple modern ones who do a few numbers we dance to are Amr Diab and Tarkan. You've probably heard of…

Might have to try this. Sounds pretty good and super easy. Thanks!

Just made this last night, with a slight variation: I basically cut the recipe in half and substituted chicken for half of the chickpeas, so I ended up with about 10-12 oz of chicken and one can of chickpeas. Everything else, I cut in half. It was delicious!! I just had one problem. I used fat free Greek yogurt, and while…

Sounds great!!! We've been experimenting with different curry recipes, and I can't wait to try this one!! I may use part chicken and part chickpea for a nice contrast. Thank you so much!!

Ooh, probably Tori Amos. Or Shirley Manson. If I was a dude, it'd definitely be Peter Steele. :love:

Ugh, I hate it when that happens!!! So frustrating! But, yes, it's a great thing that no one just stopped or got the deer in headlights or angry face. Everyone makes mistakes. It's tough not to let it show on your face when you're going "*kitten*, *kitten*, *kitten*" on the inside! :flowerforyou:

Marry me. :love: (thank you)

Hello and welcome! Here at Belly Buddies, we're always interested to hear about other dancers' experiences and interests, so feel free to share away! I know how you feel. While I wasn't the biggest dancer in my troupe, I started to feel like my weight (and bodyfat) was affecting my dance. I didn't look the way I felt while…

Oooh, that sounds good!! I may add a little basil and replace some of the cheese with parmesan. Thanks for the recipe!

I had two choreography workshops just two weeks ago! Very different numbers! One was taught by Yasmina of Michigan, and it is a Tunisian number, including balancing a pot on your head!! The steps weren't hard, just different than what I'm used to, but it was a great workshop. Yasmina is an awesome teacher. We learned all…

Goth/Industrial chic here. And One, Type O, Rammstein, Wumpscut, Funker Vogt, Assemblage 23, Front Line Assembly to name a few. Been really into dark belly dance/instrumental lately - Beats Antique, etc. Not into mainstream metal, but give me some Wumpscut, Rammstein, or Type O any day!! What did I ever do without my And…

Sounds awesome, Miss Daisy! I wish the MFP groups had a private video sharing feature, as I'd love for the belly group to be able to share videos! Also, Khosh, I meant to say that you look stunning in that dress!! Just gorgeous!

As my profile pic would suggest, I tend to like a little something covering my belly! If I'm wearing a choli / blinged out bandeau or some other more casual top, I attach a swag of fringe to loop down over my belly. Most of my dance sisters tell me I'm crazy and need to show off my belly, but that's kind of my comfort…

Aaaah, it's fantastic!! You look beautiful!! :love:

Tonight, chicken spaghetti- whole wheat pasta topped with chicken breast in a homemade (from crushed tomatoes) sauce, and salad on the side. Last night was baked trout with salt, pepper, and garlic, with steamed mixed veggies and roasted cubed sweet potatoes. Mmmm, was it good! I love making cubed sweet potatoes with…

That's so awesome!! You're absolutely right; there are many other benefits to healthy eating than just weight loss/maintenance. My body just plain feels good when I eat a variety of produce. By the way, I love your ticker photo! I see it in the forums now and again and admire it every time!! :flowerforyou:
-
That's amazing, Miss Daisy!!! :love: Would so love to take with her. About the Daily Drills workshop, I know exactly what you mean. I went to an intensive weekend of workshops last year, and by the end, I was just done... done dancing, done learning, and I just wanted to sleep, so having Ariellah funnelling knowledge into…
-
Was it a choreography or combos workshop? I've taken one of those with her, and she does move really fast. I'm sure with a tired/full brain it would be a bit much!! The ones I took with her last weekend were about stage presence and fluidity of movement. Those were both great! There was a bit of lecture at the beginning,…

Organ removal. Guaranteed weight loss. "I lost 15 pounds just by removing my spleen!!" :laugh:
-
Sorry to hear that, lady, but don't starve yoself!! I'm sure you'll still rock it!!! Any way you can use a drapey scarf or veil to mask whatever area you're worried about on your lower half? I've done that before for sure! Hang in there!! And, I think it's hilarious that you call it a sausage casing! That's what one of my…

Grrr, yes, both of those things are very annoying!! People often say to me, "Oh, if I got this belly started, it'd never stop!!" Yeah, yeah, it was cute the first hundred times I heard it. I was at a thrift store buying random bits for costuming. I got to the counter, and the clerk asked me what I was going to do with this…

Holy crap that sounds awesome!!! It'd be sooo much fun to meet my MFP Belly Buddies!!! :D

The performance season rush is over!!! Now it's time to learn a couple new choreographs and continue practicing old ones. I would like to work on my solo, too. I practice on Tuesdays with one troupe and have classes on Thursday with another. The Thursday troupe usually has rehearsals another night of the week as well, so,…

I bought some garlic quark from my local farmer's market, and it's fantastic! The main thing I do with mine is spread it on toasted bread when making a sandwich. I either use it in place of or in addition to other condiments. If you like garlic, I might suggest mincing a clove and adding it to your quark. If you let it sit…
-
Ooh, please let me know how it is if you make it!! I'd love your recipe!! :drinker:
-
ALL OF THE THINGS!!! Heheh, my fiance and and I want to make Sriracha ice cream... But seriously, it's great on eggs, sandwiches, Mexican, Chinese, even Italian if you want it spicy, stuffed peppers, etc... Just about anything.

:love: Thanks!!

Sooo... where are you seeing all these overweight instructors? Are you taking classes? Workshops? Anything? In any event, I don't see that it matters. I have met very overweight dancers who can move like nobody's business, and I have seen extremely thin dancers who can't dance to a simple beat. I have also seen the…

The misconceptions are strong in that thread... people are idiots. :ohwell:

Does your apartment smell of rich mahogany? I'm going to be a Steampunk Frankenstein chic. Wtf is that, you ask? The best description I can think of is fembot, war machine, steampunk cyborg. How's that grab ya?
