Forty Eight Hours

Now, when was the last time that you shimmered your way into someone's fancies?

OK; don't answer that. Probably, however, the thought of being able to wiggle passionately instead of wobble desperately is a pretty attractive prospect.

Which is why we were interested to meet Galit Mersand, who runs a belly dancing school down by the sea in Sussex.

She can teach you how to shimmer. Shimmering is what she does at weekends.

 Bellydancing is an ancient form of Middle Eastern dance in which dancers use movements in every muscle group of the body.
