Is Zodiac Belly Dancing in Your Future?

You might need a shrink to explain zodiac belly dancing, and New York psychotherapist Sherene Schostak -- the belly dancing astrologer -- is at your service.

"Words hit you on one level, an analytical level," says Schostak. "But when you see a Capricorn embodying the essence of a Capricorn in dance, you may be able to finally relate viscerally."

With a team of dancers, one to depict each astrological sign, Schostak has been putting on shows around New York, and it’s a treat for the eyes.

In her own routine, Schostak emphasizes a Scorpio's slow burning passion, which builds to a volcanic eruption.

Her Capricorn counterpart swivels her hips with a muscular mastery that suits her goatish determination, while the fiery Aries dancer is "more aggressive and in your face."

Schostak certainly has nothing against words. She's the resident astrologer at Elle U.K., and edits the Constellation Magazine website. She just happens to hold dear what the legendary choreographer Martha Graham famously said, "The body says what words cannot."

And if that's true, I get to paraphrase Shakespeare: "The fault lies not in thy stars, but in thy booty shaking."
