Dancing Queen

So, in the absence of being able to keep up with the old Nihon buyo, I'm thinking of trying my hand at some other dance.

London people, any interest in learning swing, tango, salsa, belly-dancing, anything? Or know a place that's good to do so?

Oh, and this has nothing to with me watching Shall We ダンス? last night. Honest.

I am also planning on starting up Krav Maga again. You got to love a martial arts where almost every combo attack involves some kind of blow to the groin. Also, I never go to do any stick attacks last time, only knife ones, and I want to do them. Uh, defend against them, I mean.

I shall defeat my own idle tendencies!

Ahh - thank you for reminding me - I need to go to the Cypt and see if there really is belly dance classes on Mondays ....

Belly dancing in a place called "The Crypt"? Hmm. Interesting...

unfortunately, it's been replaced by budhist meditation, whch means I'm back to thining about the loigistics of getting to Greenwich ... and realistically, not going to belly dance classes.

Krav Maga?

Isn't that the Israeli Special Forces martial art? I wasn't aware that there were actually any schools which taught it.

There are a lot of associations and teachers about. It's not hard to find a teacher, just hard to find one that teaches at a convenient time and location.
