I'm not usually a fan of the Miss America pageant, but this year there are two reasons I'll be tuned in: Jennifer Hepner (Miss Montana) and Danijela Krstic (Miss Oregon). Both are contestants and both belly dance as their talent. I did a little research, and it seems belly dance hasn't been a contestant's talent in 30 years -- and now we have two!The pageant will air Saturday, Jan. 24 on TLC, but you can see the contestants on the reality show "Miss America: Countdown to the Crown," beginning tonight (Jan. 2) at 10 p.m. on TLC.
In the first episode, all 52 contestants will move onto the Queen Mary in Long Beach, Calif., to begin a series of challenges that will determine the final 15.

Hey, DeAnna - I'm no belly dancer, but I did dance in a former life (everything from ballet to Lindy Hop), so I'm always excited to see Miss America contestants who dance for the talent competition. I hope we get to see them compete!
Hi, Gayle -- I'm hoping so, too! I saw a half-second glimpse of Miss Oregon dancing with a veil in the opening photo collage, but nothing else in the first episode. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they show us something soon, though...
