If you follow my Facebook page, you know that I have been taking hula dancing class for almost 5 years at the gym (TIPNESS). My respectable beautiful teacher is "Arimi-sensei"!!! She also teaches many other exercise classes at the gym. In September, she published a dance exercise book called "Age Age Dance". She said she wants to let people know that the dance makes you happy, both mentally and physically. The book comes with a step-by-step DVD with 3 original songs which her husband wrote, and she sings. Actually, she was in an idol group called "ribbon" 20 years ago, if you know. No wonder she is good at singing and dancing ;) In the end of the book, she shares some of her recipes that helps build up your body.
