At The Dancing Spirit Studio, instructor Barbara Donahue shares her passion for modern Middle Eastern dance with students of all ages and abilities. Dancers' Pilates classes help build overall strength, endurance, and bodybuilding-trophy collections with a fitness combo of dance, weights, ballet, and traditional Pilates techniques. Students undulate through six-class belly-dancing courses, where they learn belly articulation, isolations, and what bellies really say when they rumble. During "girls night out" belly-dancing parties, groups of up to 10 shakers adorn their hips with a flowy scarf and learn a 3-minute dance to lure lost keys out of their hiding places. Parties may be held at the client's place of choice, or at Barbara's studio.

The Groupon Guide to: Alternative Car Fuels
Though gasoline remains the most popular fuel for modern automobiles, a number of feasible alternatives can help curb the usage of petroleum—a potentially noxious substance because of its molecular composition of liquid pyrite, dinosaur squeezings, and earth blood. What are some increasingly popular alternative fuels?
Ethanol: Although primarily composed of corn, ethanol is actually the compressed energy fluid of all vegetable matter—as well as inorganic materials such as toy blocks, powdered fluorescent tubes, and people's feelings. What makes this a viable fuel is the single property shared by all matter, outlined in Newton's third law of thermodynamics: "Everything that can be loved can be burned."
Solar Power: Recently, scientists have harnessed the power of the sun by harnessing the sunlight that reflects off the moon. Using the moon as a giant rechargeable sunlight battery, experimental solar-powered cars can operate one night of the month, when the moon is entirely full. In automotive circles, this lack of efficiency—and the side effect resulting in cars that crave human meat—has earned them the derogatory nickname "lycanthromobiles."
Wind: Try outfitting your car with cool clipper-ship sails. Even if you don't make it to work on time because of breeze sparseness, you'll have a hot new job prospect: parking your unusual car outside the mall and hoping people start a conversation with you.
