Hi, A'isha-

That's interesting that you're seeing a decline in belly dance interest in your area. Here in Southern California, interest is still on an upswing, and it's been growing pretty steadily since my first class in 1990. I agree with you, though, that in general, interest seems to be cyclical. It just seems unfortunate that the dance form seems to be struggling the most in its birthplace... and I admire Dina all the more for persevering...

Best,
DeAnna
