In a recent issue of Time Magaize(July 9, 1007):
"The fact that belly dancing, an ancient Middle Eastern tradition, is widely known throughout the U.S. is largely due to one woman: choreographer Serena Wilson. In the '60s she opened her renowned New York City studio-among the first in the U.S. to focus exclusively on belly dancing- and over four decades helped bring the rhythmic dancing into the mainstream. To combat it's sexualized image, Wilson barred her dancers from performing at male gatherings(bar mitzvahs included). She was 73 and died from a pulmonary embolism."
There's a small picture of her next to the article in Time Magazine.
She was quite an inspiration!
