Are guys allowed?

Hi,

I'm glad I found this great forum. Although I don't do belly dance myself (for some obvious reasons, the most obvious being that I'm a guy) I am totally fascinated with all things Egyptian and I'm also a bit into Kemet. I like to explore ancient lores and mysteries.

I hope to learn new things and meet interesting people here!

Oh, honey, being male is no reason to not learn to dance, so disbuse yourself of that notion right now.

Admit it- deep in your heart lurks a tiny belly dancer yearning to breathe free! Welcome here, and get yourself on over to the subforum devoted to male dancers, then cruise the rest of the forums to meet Tarik, Zorba, DaVid, and bunches of other guys who dance.

Yes, guys are allowed.

Also, I'm not a dancer, but what is termed as an "appreciator", satisfying myself with being in the orchestra.

Welcome to the forum, and as everyone has said, guys are most welcome. Search out male bellydancers on youtube to see what they do and of course talk to the guys on the forum.

Men are absolutely allowed. As long you bring chocolate

Welcome to da 'hood, Tut!

Agreed.

Despite popular misconceptions that belly dance is a purely feminine art, you'll quickly find out here that it's not actually the case.

Welcome!
