The Dance is a Weapon

Happy birthday, Martha Graham - one of the midwives of modern contemporary dance and indirectly responsible for hundreds of dance injuries over the years thanks to her rigorous methods.

Martha and students: Bennington University c. 1930

Also, a massive thank you (again) to RetroKali of the always entertaining and insightful Belly Whisperer for the re-pimp(!) and hello to Foxy, HipMix, Lilith Noor and Raw on the Dancefloor (now that is a username to conjure with...) If you have a blog, I love following back. A lot of my close friends don't belly dance so it's fun to have other people to share this with. Thanks!
