who has been oriental dancing for 20 years and teach ing for four started me with some deceptively simple arm moves watching myself in the mirror i was reminded of a slightly dorky flightless bird ms karimas graceful motions were not duplicated easily next we waggled our hips in what ms karima aptly described as a washing machine before moving on to some serious shimmying basically letting everything from knees to waist jiggle i then got to test my hip torque by placing my right foot ahead and slightly in front of me tipping the weight on to the ball of my foot and subtly thrusting my hip bone out like when my car door doesnt close properly this walk i felt sure was designed to kill finally ms karima and i picked up veils twirling them around our bodies and letting them add to the mystery and movement of the dance after i stopped watching myself in the mirror or really thinking about what i was doing i found my own groove imagining women 1000 years ago performing with veils finger cymbals canes swords even snakes while a boa constrictor was not my style i saw myself with a flowing chiffon skirt and coin bra theatrical makeup highlight- staff photomike barrett staff writer anne howland and suzanne karima make some moves with the veil ing smoky eyes types of oriental dance vary depending on cultur al influence and costumes range from lowslung pants and bra to long shiftlike dresses once the lesson ended my arms and shoulders were sore and ms karima told me i would soon discover hip muscles heretofore unknown i believed her when she said a longer ses sion was a workout especially with advanced moves such as belly undulations and flops requiring heavyduty abs people take it up for all sorts of reasons physical mental or emotional she said ms karima has performed at nursing homes and cultural events and danced this year at the cne with seven students from her classes at centennial pool in richmond hill ms karimas troupe will perform dec 8 1 to 330 pm
