I'm only a very very beginning bellydancer, so I'm far from being an authority on it or anything.  I can tell you that it CAN be a good low-impact exercise, and it's fun once you get the hang of it. It's never going to be a really intense workout, like tae-bo or weights or anything like that, so if your ultimate goal is body-shaping or weight loss, you might want to eventually go with something more strenuous. But if you're looking for something to just get you moving, I'd say it's about the same degree of exercise as yoga.
You don't have to bare your belly.  I sure don't. I'm a little too self-conscious about my belly roll, haha. But if the idea of being in a class gives you the willies even with a covered belly, consider trying a video at home. Basic Dance with Neena and Veena is the one I'm starting with, and it's pretty good.

I made them! Of course, with the stretched ears, I can't wear normal earrings... so I made the beaded parts and then hung them off CBRs. And then I was like... duh... why didn't I think of this years ago? Heh.

I'm still wearing my tapers that I used to stretch them with, as I can't fit into the plugs I bought.
Gorgeous stone, very nice and lightweight...but the wrong size on the package! Go figure.
I'm currently a 0, I plan on having 00s soon.

#1- Casey you need to pursue photgraphy PROFESIONALLY!!!! You are damned good. Do you know that stock art web sites buy photgraphs (digital) from amateurs and professionals for money. I considered selling some of my stuff ages ago. I'l look it up and try to find the site. This could be a way to make yourself some money! $$$
#2- LOVE the turban! Reminds me of my Kundalini yoga teacher. She wore one. Bellydancing -- so cool. If you were taller, you'd be a perfect model! Very photogenic with all those angels on your face!
#3- You're so cool, hope we meet one day.
