Belly dancing

[tooblue]

My wife is the second councilor in Relief Society and for this month's enrichment activity, which took place last night, she brought in an expert in middle eastern and ancient woman's folk dancing ... After learining about the history of dance, the expert taught all the sisters a few moves .... :shock:

Mrs. tooblue can now drop it like it's hot ..... :wink:

Actually, perhaps I should post this under religion -appearantly such dance moves are very old and common to nearly every culture on the planet ... they date back to earliest recorded time.

In case you were wondering the expert she brought in is a member of the church -her husband serves as Bishop of a Ward in Toronto.

In all fairness, the statement that the woman's husband being a bishop in Toronto means absolutely nothing, having lived there for 2 years and observing some of the individuals in leadership positions. I suppose it depends on the ward in Toronto, as some of the downtown wards perhaps were more prone to "interesting" people. Great people, some of the most diligent members that I've met, but also some with some wacko ideas about priesthood and church organization. Present company excluded, of course. :wink:

Wasn't it tooblue that told us recently about the strip-tease training video/session for his spouse and/or friends? First Strip-tease, now belly dancing during enrichment night??? Hows the housing and job market up there? :shock:

Well now, I'm thinking this could help to resurrect the old "Dance" Festival program.

As long as they limit participation to recent bisexual stripper converts a la MP Funk.

Don't tell me you were one of those ... "this is how it is done in Utah Elders" :wink:

By the way the job market is good, housing is on par with any other large city in North America and besides where else in the world can you order Jerk Chicken and Perogees for lunch from the same menu!

A girl I hung out with in American Fork last night takes some Belly Dancing classes in Pleasant Grove. When I got to her place last night she was still wearing what I call her "Clinkety clink" garb, but she showed me how she can balance a sword,,,yes a freaking sword on top of her head while doing a dance.

Doesn't it look kind of funny when they wear those belly dancing outfits over their garments?

No, I wasn't one of those Elders. But if they could just come spend a few Sundays out here in California, they might just learn a thing or two. :wink:

I do have to admit, the food in Toronto is excellent. Not that there is anything unique to the area (aside from that amazing Canadian candy. The bagged milk was pretty cool too), but the variety of places to choose from was .

My personal favorite was the Roti and curry chicken from Trinidad and Tobago. 12 years later and I still crave it fortnightly!!!

My wife and a couple of her friends in the ward are taking a belly dancing class. When Mrs. pedrotea asked what I thought of the idea, I told her as long as I get a personal demonstration of what she learns I am all for it. By the way she is getting quite good at it now too

Personally, I am trying to get Mrs. Mormon Red Death to take those Stripper exercise classes that Carmen Electra does...

I can make my belly dance a little - but it really doesn't strike me as particularly sexy.
