Don't get my wrong if that's what you want to use go for it...Wait it was a really tie? No way, I have seen people wearing belts that looked like ties, I just thought it something from Hot Topic. Hehe, never under estimate the tie

True, but my anatomy's study on the muscle seem to nag me the other way, then again the muscle can stretch very well. Gah, double thoughts.

Hmm...I don't know what "semi grew" is, or even whether its a noun or a verb. But as an instructor, I strongly prefer my students to wear something formfitting like tights or leggings or a unitard so I can see if their posture, alignment, and movements are correct. You need something for visual contrast tied at your hips. It can be anything that creates a horizontal line low on the hips.

That wasn't my main problem. The only long mirror I have is on a closet door in the front door entrance. I needed something to help me tell if my hips were lifting and lowering correctly. I have the problem fixed.

I also generally advise students not to invest much in costuming. Put your money into building a good library of Middle Eastern music (and listen to it *all* the time), videography (performance is more important than instructional), classes, workshops, live performances, finger cymbals. Costume should be the very lowest priority.
I danced for five years before purchasing a real belly dance costume, but by that time I had probably dropped several grand in music and videos.

Funny thing is...The outfit was got me into the dance that and I look good in it
So it is kind of late. I understand what you mean and one thing at a time for me. I learn the dance, study others movements and invest in music and what not.
We all start somewhere.
khanjar- Lucky, you have class
You're friends are interested? That is great, there is so much more to the world then rap and what not. Wow, I feel like I am talking to my friends when we choose music.
Chain-mail? Do it! MedievalBelly Dance! I would pay to see that. Oddly enough I can see it being done. A chain-mail top, shirt, little trinkets. *writes down ideas*
Oooh I beg to differ! Neckties have helped me look good for a job interview. Plus if you ever need a short rope.
