Belly Dance That Tummy Away
Belly dancing a workout, who knew?

The inner girl in us loves a good belly dance. So why get it in with the goal of flattening the abs. On Wednesdays, Sweat Fitness is offering cardio belly dancing. The class is taught by Alexa Krepps. The low-impact classes includes warm up, isolation and toning. And participants will get to put together their own dance routine. (Next stop is the poll, of course.) Classes are at Sweat Fitness in Center City located at 1425 Arch Street; It is free for members and $15 for non-members. Now you have no excuse for not putting on a bikini this summer and we mean it. Have any of you out there tried bellydancing? Is it a true workout?

    Girl, i tried belly dancing, I really did. I took classes about four years ago at Habiba Studio just off 4th and South Street. The teacher was *excellent*, but the classes were too packed for me to move as much as I needed to, I never got my shimmy on, and it never felt quite like a workout. I guess it's just not for me. However, I took up hoopdancing a little over two months ago and it is doing everything for me that bellydancing couldn't. Now I'm bellydancing inside a bodyhoop! As for the pole, sign me up when Cardio Striptease debuts!

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
