Hey Guys,

Recently we focused a bit on the "negativity" on this forum. It is good that we addressed it. I think it is about time that we leave all the negativity and focus on the good stuff. Lets all say your top 3 positives about this forum. It is the happy and festive time of the year and lets do something positive and happy.

my top 3

1. It is addictive. The best addiction I ever had.
2. Met some awsome people.
3. For me it is like "Help desk". I got lot of help from this forum.

Happy times everybody!
Love
Janaki

Dear Gang,
What a good topic!!
1. The international quality of the forum: people from all over the place contributing so that we get more than one worldview.
2. Dancers with various length of time and experience to share.
3. The attitude that all can say their piece without fear of censorship as long as they do not abuse fellow members.

Regards,
A'isha

Heh, I think it will soon get monotonous, as we all like the same things

So, here are mine:

Great people, who are knowledgable, yet they still have different enough opinions to show the knowledge from different sides. Also the fact, that you can now travel almost anywhere and meet a shimmying and smiling soulmate.

The huge amount of information here... Even when there wouldn't be new threads, you can still feed off the old discussions and videos posted for a VERY long time...

The wackyness that arises every now and then... The B*****s of Bellydance, the Bellydance Police, the Sacred order of lady Balady, rhinotyping and so much more

Guess what, it all just comes down to people... Hugs to you all!!!
