  Dance From The Heart for Haiti   In December 2004\, when the tsunami deva
 stated parts of Asia\, a group of local bellydancers decided to throw a be
 nefit performance to help raise awareness and donations for the relief eff
 orts. Word spread\, and soon bellydancers across the nation were organizin
 g  performance fundraisers in their own cities.  Before they knew it\, Dan
 ce From the Heart was born.' Dance From the Heart' is a 501 (c) (3)\, tax 
 exempt multi-cultural corporation organized exclusively for charitable pur
 poses\, utilizing performing and visual arts events as a means to increase
  the global cultural awareness of the public towards human suffering and t
 ragedy.' (www.dancefromtheheart.org). The Memphis chapter of DFTH raised $
 1100 in donations towards relief efforts in Asia.  Across the US\,  bellyd
 ancers  raised over $12\,000 to send to Oxfam\, Unicef and other relief or
 ganizations.   What started out as a conversation between bellydancers wan
 ting to raise money for a cause turned into a nationwide movement.\nIn lat
 e 2005\, Dance From the Heart resurfaced to send funds to Hurricane Katrin
 a relief efforts.  Now\, it's time to Dance From The Heart again for Haiti
