Gen Xer here - I started to bellydance through Rania's exercise DVDs. Then I took a community ed class. Then I discovered all the fabulous hip scarves and costumes listed on ebay. I am officially hooked. So, how did you all get started?

Most frequently used phrase when male friends or husbands of friends find out that I bellydance: "Guys, it's not pole dancing!" (spoken through a chorus of whoohoos)
