Creative Loafing
Vol.19 No.32 Page 8
"...Bellydancing is making quite an impression in Charlotte. "People think of bellydancing as more of a west coast thing or something in New York, " says Yasmine , who owns and operates Mid-East Dance by Yasmine. "No one thinks of Charlotte as a hotbed for belly dancing, but it is definitely growing." .... Yasmine started teaching in 2002 with just a handful of students. She opened her studio in May (2005), and now has about 140 students running the gamet from twentysomething college students to mothers and housewives.
