At least he didn't mention any female dances that are specifically suggestive. ;-j Why wouldn't the Ghost Dance survive? For something like that to be lost you either have to kill *everyone* associated with it, or make it so shameful no one will dance it or speak of it any more. Neither is the case here.

What I found more curious is that the Ghost Dance survived; it was as much a political as a religious and cultural movement, but there was some severe attacks upon the Cherokee for promoting it, even though it was just a small subset of the overall Cherokee nation.

From what little reading I've done on it, no one is exactly sure. I simply mentioned it as being associated with Egypt. ;) Oh, I don't know if it did.

I had no idea that belly dancing came from the worshippers of Bast, though. And you are indeed, very lucky. For many reasons.
