This story is a sequel to A Sparkly Surprise Performance
Whether by fate or by chance, Sugarcoat happens upon Dean Cadance belly dancing at a public venue. Impressed by Cadance's performance, she signs up for a junior belly dance course - even at the risk of ridicule from her Crystal Prep classmates.
The third of my Equestria Girls belly dance stories.
Well, if Sugercoat's friends are true friends, they'll accept her newfound hobby, just like Twilight's did.
Oh, Sugarcoat is in for such a surprise...
A wild sequel appeared and it's a shiny. Great first chapter, looking forward to seeing the interaction between Sugarcoat and Twilight. Following and faving.
YES!!! ALL OF THE YES!!!!!
Great story and I love how you executed it
This is such a perfectly Sugarcoat line that I almost forget she only had maybe six lines in the movie.
And references!
No worries. If this version of Sunny is going to be anything like the SoCHS one, I think we know who in particular will have some words about Sugar's new hobby.
Heehee! Also very Sugarcoat.
I can just picture the look on her face.
"Hi, dance-buddy!"
So when is the next chapter coming
Yes I would update the character tags. Otherwise this was a good chapter as the girls begin to experience this new world they are entering.
Thank you everybody! The next chapter is now up.
7694362 Indeed. Some might be receptive, others might need a little convincing. We'll see what happens...
7694418 No kidding!
7696588 Glad I could hit the mark with Sugarcoat. I'm really having fun getting inside her head.
(Seeing Pinkie place the jewel.) "Boop!"
That was awesome and I love the idea of Rarity belly dancing
For a fraction of a second, her glasses turned black and shiny.
Shipping fuel detected!!
Astute observation, Sugar, but Contrived Coincidence might just be a governing force in your world.
This is just getting more and more fun with each installment.
I could totally see lemon zest wanting to do this too. Love the stories so far. Keep up the good work.
7713424 I bet she'd love to! That way she wouldn't just shake all crazy-like, like I expect she would.
She'd be on one of the more frenzied styles though.
Thank you everybody!
I’d hoped to have the next chapter up before I went on vacation tomorrow. Depending on my schedule and ability to get online, I should have it up by Thanksgiving.

I see Pinkie Pie and Lemon Zest (if she were to take it up) as gravitating toward the Turkish style, which is very energetic and spontaneous.
Cinch finds out and tears into Sugarcoat for "Shamelessly exposing her body for money," I guess?
Somethings tells me they know already. Looking forward to sugarcoats recital
Well that went well, I wonder how this recital will go actually.
No one's stopping you, Celestia.
...Well, she has to work off all that cake somehow.
In all seriousness, it's interesting that even Celestia thinks of belly-dancing that way, because it demonstrates that the misconceptions aren't just based in youthful naivete from girls like Indigo, Lemon, and possibly Sunny Flare.
Ah, so finally the long awaited confrontation. Now, it just leaves me up to wondering how the one with Sour Sweet and Sunny Flare will go. Probably with Sunny running off to tell her dear old mum, Principal Cinch I reckon.
I wonder how many new students will be joining after the recital?
I like this one await the next chapter
They took it pretty well!
Also, Sour didn't seem to be doing that Sour/Sweet routine, did she get some anger management and/or therapy or something?
Ejem...
7774362 Hmm, considering Fleur Dis Lee was mentioned as a possibility, I can possibly see her. Mayyyybbbe Lemon Zest as well.
And there they all are. Now it's time to get real!
7774603 I did try to write this chapter with Sour slipping into her darker tone, but her original lines (I felt) were so ham-fisted, that I ultimately decided not to highlight that trait of hers.
On that note, I think Sour manages her moods better when she is in familiar company and not under stress. In the book Twilight's Sparkly Sleepover Surprise, she did not display the same mood swings that she did in The Friendship Games (when the stakes were high). Still, I would love to write that part of her personality in earnest one day.

Makes sense, I guess!
Goodness me, who is THAT in the stinger?
I can't place her!
7833944 Humanized version of Starlight Glimmer perhaps?
7833944
7833965
Actually, it's Principal Celestia.
7833974 That was actually going to be my third guess after Sonata Dusk.
And thus the trilogy comes to a sweet end. Well done, I loved it.
7834008 Who says it has to? Mayor may decide to make another sequel.
7834025 Oooh. Good point.
7833974 I wonder if she knows of Luna's involvement? Oh this will be interesting.
7833974 HYYYYYYPE!
Do it. NO seriously, do it.
Could it be Celestia
First off love the chapter as always
Second I personally think silver was sugarcoat's costume color choice
And third if you want to do something different for the others why not something like traditional Chinese Dancing with Sunset Shimmer
Oh... My... Celestia! How did she find out?

In Chapter 3, Luna mentions that she finally told her sister about her hobby.

Thanks. I went with yellow for Sugarcoat since one of her outfits in the merchandise is primarily yellow. In Twilight's Sparkly Sleepover Surprise she mentions that orange is her favorite color. Although silver might be a good choice for her.
7835122 huh, forgot about that. Well then, I wonder if the principals will make a club at CHS and performance for it?
Sugar solidifies her new hobby and hip/stomach-wiggling grows just a little more acceptable in CP, one imagines! Or, after/outside of school, at least.
7835122 ok but what about the Chinese Dancing idea
7835280 Probably best that I stick with what I know, lest I make a mess of it.
7836256 ok I'm just glad you took the idea into account
Also, sing like no one is listening, and live like it's heaven on earth.
Where did you get the cover art for this written piece?
