INTRODUCING -
IN THE PINK - CELEBRATING THE WOMEN WHO DANCED WITH CANCER
A group of Harrisburg area belly dancers have joined together not only
to share thier love of the dance, but also share a deeper bond of
support and triumph. The women in this group have faced down cancer and
experienced the recovery of health and spirit through belly dance.

It is the joy in her heart and the fire in her soul that make a woman
beautiful, not her age or shape of her body. Calling themselves 'In the
Pink - Celebrating the Women Who Danced with Cancer', thier motto is
'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. Life is about learning
to dance in the rain.'

'IN THE PINK will be performing at several venues in October for Breast
Cancer Awareness Month. Come join in thier celebration in dance! (See
below)

'In the Pink:' is available for fund raisers, support groups, health
fairs and other family venues. For information on 'In the Pink' -
contact Elisheba at elysheba70@hotmail.com
