Belly Dancing At The Open House

Belly Dancing At The Open House

My brave and beautiful wife is working hard to become a belly dancer, something that is surprising in some ways, but not in  others. This is who Maria really is, the spirit that has always lived inside of her.

It is so natural and joyous for her the wonder is that she just started doing it a year or so ago.

The Belly Dancing is not, in my mind, something different, it is really her, it is what she is about. Belly Dancing is not about pleasing men or arousing them. It is a beautiful affirmation of identity and self among the women who do it.

They are saying, quite simply, this is who I am, and who I am is beautiful. Period.

Maria’s Belly Dancing groups is coming to our October Open House (they will be here at 1 p.m. on October 7). In this year of all years, this is the right dance for all of us.
