A circle of women slowly sidestep. As they move in rhythmic unison, their hips pulse — to the right, to the center, to the left. With each flick of the hip, copper coins that dangle from colorful hip scarves jangle to the beat. Posted on April 6, 2008.
Suzanne Rancourt, front center, leading a class at the Schenectady YWCA, says belly dancing helps women get in touch with their feminine side. Her class includes, from her right, Jessica Hatfield and in the back, from left, are students Mary Berry, Gloria Lynch, and Sally Eckhoff.
Don’t worry about your curves, says Rancourt. A full bodied women use their roundness to great effect in belly dancing.

Coins on the bodice and belt add shine to and keep rhythm for the dancers.
