I’d like to take some kind of dance class that can get my body in shape by strengthening my tummy and back muscles and increasing overall flexibility is belly dancing a good option and does anyone have any other suggestions?

It depends where you’re starting from. If you’ve never danced before, then belly dancing is a great way to get started. If you have a good teacher who knows good technique, then you’ll find it excellent for your tummy and back muscles, and for flexibility in your upper body. It won’t do anything for flexibility of the legs, though, unless you do Tribal Belly Dance which incorporates yoga in its warm-ups.

If you have some dance or gymnastic experience, you’ll get results faster with ballet or jazz ballet or contemporary – but they’re hard to take up as an adult if you’ve never done dancing before.

oh for sure, the first time i ever took a belly dancing classes i was in so much pain because i never had used those muscle in my body.
chiropracters say its great for your back and posture, there was a guy in my class and he was a chiropracter and he raved about it and its great for you abs.
