posted on: Jul 21, 2010

On a trip to discover one of Detroit’s best entertainment attributes, reporter Martina Guzman takes a deeper look at the cultural institution of belly dancing. Guzman inquires to find out about how belly dancers, many whom are no longer Middle Eastern, perceive the dance as well as how Detroit’s Arab community looks to a dance that has evolved into a multi-ethnic merging of cultures. The segment, broadcast last week on NPR’s Studio 360, also features commentary Arab Detroit’s Ameera David.
