If you enjoy rhythmically shaking your hips like a jackhammer or simply want to get the rock-solid core of your dreams, you can delude yourself into thinking you’ll get it with some belly dancing lessons.

The LSU UREC will offer belly dancing courses, led by belly dancing artist Alison Benda, designed to compete with the somewhat popular forearm and elbow dancing class starting February 2nd.

Benda learned belly dancing from a wise old man in the Himalayan foothills, where she lived until her mentor decided she was ready with a silent nod. Benda says he hadn’t said a word in the past 50 years.

Benda and other belly-dancing enthusiasts say this is an excellent workout for people aiming to turn their bodies into deadly weapons of mass destruction. They also say dancing is a fun way to add cardio to your day. Some of the most effective moves for exercise are “the moving hippy thing” and “the dislodged ribcage.”

Benda has used her skills for several occasions, including wedding parties, various sacrificial offerings, solstice celebrations, Mike and Molly viewing parties, funerals and IKEA grand openings.

 
The preceding was a work of satire and was very, very funny. Don’t agree? The Funyon on Twitter is the best place to sound off your frustration.
