Belly Dancing…in China?
China is now allowing the “bourgeois decadence” of belly dancing to be taught…by a dude.
I admit I would feel weird learning belly dancing from a man. I would feel weird belly dancing at all, however, especially with the current state of my belly. Apparently though, he’s awesome at it. I wish I could find some videos to see for myself, but I guess I have to believe NPR when they say it.

There was a giant market in Bangkok off the Mo Chit subway station that my wife liked to go to. Every time I think about it, I sing to myself, "I like to Mo Chit, Mo Chit…" (ahem) It's also the only place someone tried to pick my pocket – but not every man keeps their wallet in the same place. (he he)
ANYWAY, according to the article, apparently most of his students had the same idea. "Belly Dancing… by a man?" But apparently he's really good at it. What I want to know is how the heck he got from China to a gym in Cairo, Egypt! There's a motion picture waiting to be made right there… "Bellydance?" "Dirty Belly?" Er, I'll work on the title.
