Dance classes
There has consistently been a
shortage of men who sign up for the
class each semester More women
than men take the class because
dancing is usually an activity more
familiar to women, said Lola Owens-

Most men do not know how to
dance, and therefore, they are reluc¬

waltz, foxtrot, rumba, swing, cha

Swing is by far the favorite dance
of students, according to Owensby.
'They can adopt swing,* she said. It
can be applied to most popular
music today
When asked why people take So¬

Belly dancing
class at CSUF

She bounds up the CU stairs, hair
flying, smile blight as her shiny leo¬
tard, she's laughing and happily
lugging record albums, a huge bag,
and record player. She throws open

Maurene McCinnit says she 'loves
teaching' the Wednesday night belly
dancing class from 7-8 p.m. It began
Sept. 24 and will rt
McCmms said the class o
dancing." Those with greater appe¬
tites can contact any local dancing
school to continue.
McCinnis began her interest by
taking a belly dancing class two years
ago from Cory Zamora, who is still
teaching at the School of Middle East¬
ern Dance, a private school in Fresno.
Initially she was intrigued by this
style of dancing because of her part
Armenian heritage. Though this
style of dance Is more Arabic in na¬
ture", she says, *l feel as If It is In my
blood."
McCinnis began belly dancing
. shortly after she joined a local singing
telegram service as its belly dancing
specialist. She also worked for that
firm for two years as a 'Red Hot
Mama' character.
She recently left that job to work for
Desert Dance-O-Crams, a firm that
sends belly dancers out to dance for
parties and special occasions.
She relates some interesting tales
about changing costumes in strange
places. 'One time I dressed in a fig
orchard, and I 've seen the inside of a
lot of gas station bathrooms."
The work is not easy. McCinnis
said there are times when she is
booked for a party in Madera and one
in Fresno one half of an hour later.
'One time I went to the Fig Garden
Villager to belly dance for some res¬
taurant workers, and this guy grab¬
bed me and pulled me into a closet.
Someone on the outside locked to door
and I was never so scared,' McCinnis
said.
She escaped with her dignity, but
her mother bought her a 'watch cat'
key chain after that.
She laughs as she recalls the time
her car was rear-ended while she was
driving in full belly dancing regalia.

was well done, but after a few gun
misfires, a couple of bad slaps, and
one mace pen that went off after It was

of its credibility.
Still, Ryan's energy, poise and talent

And perhaps  the most  annoying
part about the whole play is that we
leave the theater plagued for the next
24   hours   with   whistling,   hummina
or singing 'As Time Goes By.'
Things could be worse.   Try it, you
might actually like it.
The play will run again Oct.  7-11
