Beth the Bellydancing Banana grew up in the rainforests of Peru, where she spent time “hanging out” in the banana trees. She loved her family “bunches”, but got sort of bored with staying still in the treetops all day long. Plus, it isn’t very much fun to be stuck right next to your little brothers and sisters all day. One of Beth’s monkey friends taught her how to belly dance, and she found out that she was really good at it! Now she likes to put on her flowy, sparkly costume and dance across the rainforest canopy for all of the rainforest inhabitants to see. Being a banana, Beth has great posture, which helps her do an even better job, and she practices every day to get ready. Her performances and winning smile have great “a-peel” and draw crowds from miles around. Beth’s special skill is to be confident in everything she does. You’ve got talent, Banana Beth! Keep dancing to a different beat!
