One of the women I admire a great deal has the dance name of "Vashti"

Anyhow, we get a great giggle of our names, the meanings and how the wimmen folk were probably rolling their eyes at the menfolk a whole lot in those days.

Funny, but that never made it into writing (which makes me wonder what kind of stuff was left out ;) )

Speaking of dances named after biblical characters...THIS ONE SHOULD BE A CLASSIC IN THE FIELD

"...and when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those that sat with him, the king said to the girl. 'Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.' He also swore to her, 'Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.'" Mark 6: 22- 23
