GIVING IT A WHIRL

 Donna Whitley, in black tee, teaches students at East Carolina University how to belly dance Jan. 12 in the social room in Mendenhall Student Center on campus. Whitley has been belly dancing for 25 years; she is a Greenville native and serves as a guest lecturer in ECU’s theatre and dance department. The belly dancing class was the first event this semester in the DiversiFYI cultural workshop series. It was sponsored by the Arab Student Union and the Student Activities Board Initiative, which works to unite and celebrate different cultures on campus. (Photos and video by Cliff Hollis)
