Be glad to - but give me some guidance so I don't run my mouth off (I'm good at that) yakking about the "wrong" aspect or something. In other words, what specifically are you looking for?
I showed up at the dance studio (a bit nervous), and took the class. I had pre-researched and contacted the instructor ahead of time, wanting to find someone who "knew what to do with me" - which was, of course, a mistake as ANY belly dance instructor knows what to do with a male student - she just may not know it yet!
But this particular one had told me "I've had many male students and male teachers, come on down!". I've been with her on and off (mostly on) for over 6 years now, which makes me her longest running male student of her 36 year teaching career (the runner up lasted 4-1/2 years before quitting).
