I have only been to 3 classes but already I know that I prefer doing Egyptian. I prefer watching tribal but I think I am better suited with a ballet abckground to the more floaty and graceful egyptian movements rather than the more poppy earthy tribal stuff.

So when did you decide which was your style and was it a complete personal decision or did your teacher and classmates etc tell you which you was best at?
