I have been dancing for nine years...I certainly hope I have attained some level of skill in that time!

Dear Brea,
I did not say cymbals may be only for Beledi, but that most belly dancers play cymbals during their Beledi routines, but not for sharghi so much. All one has to do is to watch dancers from Egypt to see the truth of this.
Regards,
A'ish
