Rania got me into bellydancing. I happened to be home from work one morning. I happened to be awake. I happened to channel surf to FitTV. There happened to be an episode of All Star Workouts starring Rania.
Ten minutes in, even though I hadn't done any dancing since Jr. High, I was recognizing certain steps or at least seeing that they were similar to things I had done before.
Twenty minutes in I was saying, "I could do this."
Forty minutes in I was up and moving.
Then I bought the 4-pack of Rania's Bellydance for Fitness and Weight Loss. It was longest duration I've ever managed with workout videos. 7 months straight. (Then it was August and too hot to move.)
Since then I've been in real classes with a real instructor – not Rania, but I don't expect to see her in central Illinois. I've been in one performance and have another coming up soon.
And it's all Rania's fault.

Fri, February 22, 2008 - 3:46 PMRania is such a wonderful person. When we bring here to Omaha again for a workshop we will have to let you know so you can maybe come and meet her. Trust me it is SO worth it to have her teach you what she knows. Not to mention her personality is great to be around. -
