Belly Dancing, Loring Cornish & Digital Cave-men
Five stories, hand-picked by What Weekly staff for Urbanite readers

Check out these five stories from What Weekly, selected by publisher Justin Allen.
1. "When most of us think of a Belly Dancer, we arrive at an image in our minds, of a scantily clad woman who dances to traditional Middle Eastern Music. Bagoas shatters this notion. Take a look at one of the most talented, albeit untraditional, belly dancers we've ever witnessed." (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
2. Photos from the 12th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
3. "For Loring Cornish, his art is an exercise in faith and from that faith springs deeply resonate work that relays a transcendent narrative that speaks to us, not as critics or artists, but as people." (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
4. David Warfield spends some time getting to know two up-and-coming filmmakers at Digital Cave Media in Hampden. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
5. Educator and counselor Jordan Goodman comments on the need to re-evaluate how we educate our children. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)

What's Up with What Weekly?
Five stories, hand-picked by What Weekly staff for Urbanite readers

Urbanites!
Today begins a new tradition here at www.UrbaniteBaltimore.com. Every two weeks, the What Weekly crew shares with us five hand-picked stories; in return, we kick to them five Urbanite stories, some new, some old. We've included their list below, along with short teasers to get a feel for what the bigger article is about. But you can trust us (and them!): each of these is worth the read.
1. Justin Allen grew up in Tennessee, but manages to find superlative Americana music on the East Coast: Sea Couch. It's mountain music, alive and well in the heart of Baltimore. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
2. The Microshow series is back at Mobtown Studios, and Baltimore band Lands and Peoples stopped by for a performance. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
3. It's mediocrity, conformity, and comfort for everyone! Why? Because we can't aspire to anything greater. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
4. The Baltimore Afrobeat Society puts on what is quite possibly the best dance party of the year. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
5. Even though he has been a magician for more than twenty years, David London stills asks: What is magic? That's exactly what Philip Laubner asks him in this Q&A. (Take me to the What Weekly story.)
