Belly dancing

Belly dancing is not that common in Bollywood but there are a few divas in the industry who have not only attempted it, but also managed to do a good job! Here's a look at such top 10 actresses who have flaunted their belly.

A local author wants to share her first book with the world, as she feels it's important to hear stories about acceptance, and learning how to be accepting of others.

The Little Belly Dancers Kindness is a children's book by author Maria Vasek, about a young girl who's in the hospital to get her tonsils removed, but experiences feelings of loneliness and isolation because of her darker complexion.

Vasek says she got the inspiration for the book from her grandmother, who was a nurse in the children’s ward.

“There was one young girl, and she was trying to get the attention of the other children, and so her grandmother came to visit her and brought her a gift, and that gift helped her too get their attention… I don’t know if I should say too much (laughs)…she did like a dance for them… and it really inspired them and really helped them, to get over what they are going through in the hospital.”

The present is something that holds traditions and customs, which allows the girl to tell her story of bringing happiness and joy to others.

She says she hopes her story, which took her about a year and half to complete.

“I would try and write almost every day. I’d try and write either in the morning or after my daughter goes to bed, just to give me more time… I like creating a magical moment in a story, like what the character is thinking, and then maybe hopefully somebody can relate to it.”

Vasek hopes parents will read this book to their children. Vasek was inspired to start writing a children's book after volunteering to read in her daughter's pre-k class. 7 years later, Vasek named and based the main character in the story after her daughter, Joelle.
