It's the most graceful and womanly I've
felt in my life. I haven't shown this much skin since I was eighteen!
Connie has taken every beginner belly dance course she could lay hands on
for almost ten years. Her dance background includes salsas with her uncles
and cousins, 80s night at Polly Esther's and the occasional slow dance at
weddings and anniversaries. Since her first class, she has moved three times,
changed careers, acquired a husband, child, cat, house, cars, mental wealth
and material comfort, and finally figured out how to dance 'the camel'
sometime last fall. Connie tips her hat to the Real Women, and apologizes in
advance for stepping on them.
