Review| Transform into a Goddess with Jill Ngo: Belly Dancing Class Review

When I was younger - like, way back younger, I wanted to become a ballerina. I can't forget the day when my little brother who was in elementary then had a class activity and he drew a picture of me as a ballerina however the caption said "My sister wants to become a belly dancer." He didn't know how to spell "Ballet" and there goes no auto-correct. We laughed about it for days and back then belly dancing was a taboo thing since it would depict women dancing very sexy. 

Fast forward to few decades, I have often seen in Marikina Sports Complex, a class of ladies Belly Dancing. I told myself one day I will definitely try that - but of course never have. 

Until last Sunday, I got the chance to join the bloggers invite to a Be a Goddess For A Day  - A Belly Dance experience with Jill Ngo. 

Personal| We were on the losing End but then we were wrong!

When I was 5, I remember watching my mom being twirled around as she gracefully danced to a "swing" song. I knew my family was into performing arts since my dad could sing well and he would usually imitate Engelbert Humperdinck. 

Turning 7 and studying in the Philippines, I watched my brothers and his friends practice to a New Wave tune and listen to my older sister sing along with Gladys Knight - both times I wanted to join in. 

Then I had my first performance in grade school, wearing a black leotard, gold ribbons and giving it all I got to "Can't Take my Eyes Off of You". That's when I knew I was meant to be a dancer!

Ah Yes, I as a wee lass dancing with my childhood friend JR.
