Anita-Cristina Calcaterra discusses The Goddess Dancing, a company that presents performances, classes and activities focusing on women's empowerment. Konuralp Oz discusses belly dancing in his native Turkey, where it is not considered a man's art form. Lorraine Lafata discusses leading workshops that help women draw upon the transformative powers of the dance form. Each guest introduces a video excerpt of himself/herself dancing.
