Absolutely yes, and this is so funny you asked this. Yesterday at work one of my friends, age 62, pointed out a coworker who is a belly dancer. The 62 year old wanted to know if she could take lessons. This 62 year old also has recently taken up 4 wheel ATV and just entered her first pulling competition at a county fair, weight lifts, and goes "singles dancing" at least once a month.
53 is the perfect time to do some of the things you were too busy to do earlier on, and don't let anyone tell you it's time to pick up the crochete needles and sit back in your rocking chair.

Age is just a number. You're not any older than you feel you are inside. Try it! What've you got to lose? It's something new, and if you have the body and the moves, don't worry about what anyone else says. Your family, of all people, should support you. Ridicule only makes you feel self-conscious...but you shouldn't. I think it's very interesting to hear of someone your age wanting to take belly dancing. Good luck!

The media is now saying the the best exercizes that drop the most pounds are belly dancing and strip aerobics, and since your having so much fun you don't even realize your losing weight! It's been approved for people of all ages and sizes...so go for it! They won't laugh when you have some abs that are better then theirs!

Sure why not it is wonderful fun way for working out the abs muscles. You shouldn’t answer to anyone else you’re an adult and there is nothing wrong with it. you might enjoy
Stripe aerobics they are also a very popular trend also…you can even find the DVD’s at your local W_ L -M_ _ T store.

I think you should. As mentioned, excercise and also just a new hobby to take up. Go for it. Regardless what your family thinks and regardless if you DO have a belly or not

I would say to do it if you want to. I would check with your doctor first to make sure that it's okay, then just have fun. I would have loved to have my grandmother belly dancing!! When you start, your family will probably all want to watch you and be proud of you!!!

Of course you should! it's wonderful exercise and good fun.....and what in Gods name are you calling yourself Granny for? are you in such a rush to get old?, I'm sure there is more to you than being a Mum and a grandmother......Get cracking with the belly dancing and then learn Salsa....now thats real fun!
