i dont want to do it for sexytime (although that is a bonus ) mainly for a fun way to keep in shape. The only thing is i have no one to go with me (my friends are either pregnant or blokes or think they are too fat/too short/too insecure, yeah thats about it) and i have NO experience of anything like this at all. not really that confident. at all.i cant dance and i cant be sleezy sexy, but doing some research has helped, i have found one class that do a taster session for £15 then you can sign up for a 6 week beginner course, with only 8 girls in the class and it looks tasteful and at the end of the day fun! and i almost booked a place but then chickened out, just cos the old nervous factor. but i really want a hobby/something to do. urgh i hate my brain. and theres only one place left! this sunday. tick tock tick tock. but then what if im wrong and its a big sleezorama with orange coloured girls with bleach blonde hair, nipple tasssles and 20" plastic heels and who say "innit" a lot.

so yeah experiences? good, bad? have you joined any club or activity recently? did you join up on yr own? i need some INSPIRATION

i think my problem is that i freak myself out too much. but then i read somewhere that at the end of the day you are going to regret the things that you didnt do rather then the things you did do. so fuck it. do it! arggghhhhhh

Yeah do it.

Nothing ventured, etc.

And if it ends up being sleazetastic, you can always not show up again. Is it really expensive?

I'd quite like to do this, but only if I was in better shape (as in, I smoke right now and I'm usually out of breath at the slightest physical exertion).

I'd love to do salsa classes too.

it aint cheapo but it isnt as expensive as a gym membership and yeah yr right i could just do a runner if it all goes tits up. hehe what a great pun.

yeahhhhh i just quit smoking! so im feeling all empowered to do things without turning blue.

do it and tell us all about it because I'm intrigued.
I'd love to do something like this, i'd be a laugh but my friends sound the same as yours if you throw in a handful of prudes. The only friend I can imagine doing this is an ex-drinking bud that lives six hours away dammit.

I want to take bellydancing classes too but when I asked my friends gave me that you-are-no-way-in-hell-making-me-exercise look.

Its scary going on your own cos you know other women will be afraid to go on their own and take friends...I wouldn't want to be class gooseberry

Main reason why I quit right there. Going day to day, that shit just got old.
