Several years ago I began writing about my time as a professional bellydancer. I continue to work on this piece even as Skin of Glass: Finding Spirit in the Flesh, my memoir about dance as a a spiritual path, goes to press. But Fazil's, the studio and club that housed my most formative belly dance experiences, is closing. I never thought it would happen. It is very sad. Here is an excerpt about first climbing those rickety stairs, first meeting Fazil, and taking my first class with Elena [Lentini]. -- Dunya Dianne McPherson
