This is a "just for fun" thread. There is no right or wrong answer. Which belly dance moves do you consider the most important? Or, phrased differently, if somehow your body was forced to "forget" every belly dance move but you could choose two that your body could retain, which ones would it...

So all these years dancing and I'd still never participated in a competition, mostly because so far there have been none (that I know of) closer than 4 hours away from me and I don't get a lot of vacation days at work. I was heading off to Cairo last week, to take workshops from Randa Kamel and...

Have any of you heard of such a thing, or something close? I have tons of DVDs... many of them with very, very good material. Yet, I find myself uninspired to work with them because the way the material is presented is not ideal for my personal learning style. I prefer to learn a few things...

I don't normally post my videos here, but since I enjoy seeing everybody else dance, maybe I should. It's nice to see what everybody is like and where everybody is at. So, here it is... KF1cFPW789w 7/21/2012 EDIT - Hi guys! I am just reviving this thread to announce that I have entered the...

I've noticed that lately, this forum has been getting spammed very often. I get email notifications when someone responds to a thread I posted in, and some nights my email gets spammed with responses from here, nearly all of them being trolls/ads. I know I can change the email settings if it...

I've always liked this dancer, but more and more she is becoming one of my favorites. She is Russian but lived in Cairo for a while, I think in the 90's and early 2000's. I think she is great technique-wise but also captures the feeling of Egyptian dance. One thing I really like about her is...

Ana Claudia Borges The soft energy and strong hips really remind me of Suheir, plus they have a similar smile and figure as well. 6HCyhw6calE If you have the patience to wait for it to load, you can even watch this in HD

Let's talk about those moments that had the power to change our belly dance experience forever: What were some of your favorite "lightbulb moments" throughout your journey with belly dance? How did the moment come about (Were you watching a video, practicing in front of the mirror, talking to a...

Usually these websites/youtube channels feature very bad so-called professionals, awful explanations and even wrong technique, so I was pleasantly surprised to find Irina Akulenko here. She's a wonderful dancer and has great technique. This could be useful to our baby beginner members who like...

Ju Marconato is one of my favorite dancers... what a nice treat to come home on Friday and find a new video of her dancing to one of my favorite songs! :D aKCkInLu26U&feature=feedu

One week ago I started having this awkward, sharp pain that would happen near my left shoulder blade whenever I turned or tilted my head to the left. I chalked it up to having slept wrong, since it started on Sunday morning. Since the pain wasn't there all the time and wasn't that bad, I...

I'm not a huge Meleya Leff fan, but Soraia Zaied always kicks ass. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. In fact, I can't stop watching it! (This is an old clip, from 2002 Ahlan Wa Sahlan) FLFcHwmT0zA&feature=recentu

I just saw an interview with one of my favorite dancers (who shall remain nameless), in which she says that belly dance is an exclusively female dance. While this does not surprise me, because she (much like many other dancers out there) focuses a lot on the feminine aspects of the dance and...
