Should I take a bellydance class? How should I ask permission?

It's very casual -- Once a week ($45/month), no costumes (thankfully)--just yoga pants and a T, fusion style (a combo of middle eastern and cabaret.) I'm looking to tone up, and I want to have fun with it. (In fact, my first choice was pole dancing -- It burns a ton of calories and works every muscle, I think I'd be good at it, and it would be so much fun. I don't think I've ever heard my mom say "NO" faster.) I'm looking at this type of dance because I certainly don't have the body (or the money) for ballet (I'm very... curvy.), I can't see myself getting into hip hop or ballroom, and again, I think I'd have a lot of fun with it (I tried a short video on it. I think I'd do better learning from a class, but I really liked it.)

The thing(s) is(/are):
-I doubt I could get permission, without it being weird. (Same reasons as you could imagine for the pole dance idea.)
-I like to think I'm becoming more confident, but I still shudder at the idea of seeing someone I know there.

By all means I think you should take a belly dance class if you get your mother's permission. Unlike pole dancing, in belly dancing you do keep all of your clothes on!! You might also try calling belly dancing by one of its other names like "Middle Eastern Dancing" "Oriental Dance" "Belidi dance" or "Near East" folk dancing. This isn't lying, these are all names of the many dances we call "belly dance."
This dance is a wonderful way to get in shape as it is a low impact exercise that is kind to your body as you get in shape and lose weight. I am 55 years old and I have been belly dancing since 1977. I did have some health problems and some life issues that caused me to quite dancing for about 10 years but I've been back for about 5 years. I am a large women and I wear very modest costumes that cover my body because there are lots of things about me that no one wants to see.

Women in the Middle East do not dance for men, this dance is a women's dance and is done for other women. Here in the US, most of us will never dance in public or as a professional. Let her know that most of the women you will meet in this class are mothers, grandmothers, teachers, lawyers, just normal women. And there are many mothers and daughters that take classes together. You might even suggest to your mom that she take the class with you, or at least come to check it out. You might also see if there is a student night or a dance show in you city and go with your mom so she can see what "belly dancing" is all about.

Good luck with the dancing
