Great article — can’t wait for the second part. Serena was the first “real” belly dancer I ever saw, when she came to North Carolina to teach a workshop in 1977 or so. She was amazing — I was moved to tears by her performance. She complemented that performance ability by being intelligent and perceptive. She had a true interest in how belly dance came to America and how its dynamics could affect the American woman. Her first book, “The Serena Technique of Belly Dancing” (1972?) holds up remarkably well as an interpretation of how belly dance could be in its new home. Thanks, Barbara.
