While plenty of women are still attracted to the sensuous belly-dance mystique--diaphanous veils, belts hung with coins, finger cymbals and exotic Middle Eastern music--there's a new fan base that sees nothing unusual about executing a hip drop or camel walk to the strains of 21st century techno music as long as it's a good workout. And there are a host of new belly-dance videos with titles like Cardio Shimmy and Pure Sweat to show how it's done.

...What brings on the fever is that while wagging his finger, he bungles the facts.
