Tonight was our monthly meeting and we had Jane come to us and gave us a talk on Mysteries of Middle Eastern Dance 💃. It was interesting to learn the history of it and how the costumes have changed over the years. Jane also shared some moves with us which was great fun, and she finished off by doing a full dance. It’s a lot harder than it looks. It was a really good evening 💃💃💃
