Bellies have long been decried as useless for anything beyond supporting laptops or rhyming in poems about jelly. Move your midsection with today’s Groupon to Belly Dance by Gypsy in Winston-Salem. Choose between the following options:

• For $25, you get a punch card for five classes (a $50 value).
For $50, you get a punch card for 11 classes (a $100 value).

During one-hour classes at Belly Dance by Gypsy, Gypsy (a.k.a. Paula Stump) instructs students in traditional full-body movements as well as in the muscle-group isolation patterns for which belly dance is famous. Groupon-specific classes will be held between September 12 and November 30 on Monday at 6 p.m. and Wednesday at 7 p.m., during which Gypsy will initiate pupils in the ancient and sensual art of belly dancing, considered a misnomer because the dance incorporates movement throughout the entire body. Classes will move at a comfortable pace as dancers eventually learn to shimmy, isolate muscle groups, and oscillate hips in as yet uninvented directions. Students build on their knowledge with each class, but need not attend consecutive sessions, instead choosing from 24 classes through November 30.
