Get Out and Shake It

Before the kids were born, remember when you used to go out dancing just to let go of all your tensions from the week? Now, it’s a lot harder to leave the house at 10 p.m. and not come home until 2 a.m., but if you still have that desire to dance, Aabla Raqs has a great alternative for you, bellydancing.

Every Monday night from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., they offer an introduction to bellydancing class at their . You’ll learn to dance with veils, swords, finger cymbals and even Aladdin’s lamps - all in the company of other women, many of them fellow moms. If you can’t persuade your girlfriends to come with you, you’ll meet plenty of friendly women at the class. 

Go ahead. Let yourself escape from work and family one night a week to become an exotic bellydancer. You won’t come home from this night of dancing smelling like smoke and alcohol, but you will feel like a sexy woman who still knows how to shake it.
