Hi Salserovn:

Here is a youtube playlist that I put together of male oriental and folkloric dancers. The first couple are of Tarik, an American dancer who explains very well why he dances. Please listen to his speech. He put it on youtube so he wouldn't have to keep reexplaining some of these things to people. There are also some clips of his dancing.

The other dance clips are of various other dancers, including some from the Middle East. One of my favorites is Tito who is a performer in Egypt.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Best regards,

Sedonia

Sedonia, you forgot to include the link.

Salserovn, try out this website from our member Zorba:Zorba, "The Veiled Male"

It has also a lot of information about male belly dancing and a question and answers section.

Dear Zorba,
I think that's the best reason I have ever heard!! Could I possibly adore you more than I do right now?? I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!!

Thanks Sedonia for your information!

Thank you too other guys to implement my topic. I will research more and maybe I will attend the belly class soon. At least it's good for my body movement to support salsa. Nice to talk with you.
