This is a great class. I am a widow; many are widows who have gone through cancer. It restores confidence in your body. It's more than a dance. It's a way, for senior women particularly, to regain a lot of the feeling of womanhood they have lost. Women become invisible after a certain age. We say that to each other. There is an age after menopause -- you just become invisible. And this is a way of feeling very womanly and a way of breaking free of the stereotype of the older woman. I like to call it sensual, not sexual. What you see onstage is vaudeville. We are not talking about sex. There is a way to do it tastefully and a way to do it not tastefully.
