Why Belly Dancers are
Natural Snowboarders
by
Lauren Traub
OK, it sounds strange. But
If you’ve enjoyed dancing Oriental you probably already have a lot of the
skills needed to snowboard. At least that’s what I have found in my personal
experience. It’s probably too late to get on the snow this season, unless you
go to the glacier at Blackcomb, B.C., or to Portillo, Chile in the Summer. But
it’s not too early to start getting psyched to learn to snowboard next season.
First of all, why
snowboard? The answer: Because it is so much darn fun! I have just finished my
third season of snowboarding. I am in my 40s. And I have never done anything as
much fun in my rich and varied life! And, it is so cool to be a snowboarder. I
have something in common now with people that I never would have met before. It
might even give you something to talk about with your kids! Snowboarding gives
you a great excuse to be outdoors in the winter. And you’ll be warm, too! It
burns calories big time!
