In this super quick mini documentary episode, Melina shares her mother Rhea's Top Five Lessons or Gifts of belly dance. She does a brief recap of Rhea's belly dance story and her move to Greece in the 1970s, illustrating the narrative with wonderful photos from the family archives, including photos of herself, her sister Piper, and her daughter Zoë Isadora aka moodystreetcircuskid when she was a kid (now Zoë is a touring aerialist and third-generation dancer). Then she shares the main event: a question she asked of her mom as she was dyeing her mom's roots at home. Rhea answer came quick as a flash! Rhea's Top Five Gifts of Belly Dance.
