Hello Ladies and gents, We ofetn discuss various styles of oriental dance, i.e. Egyptian, Turkish, Lebanese and American style. But what about other style that have been transported to Russia or Korea?
Do you think there is a different approach to styling exhibited by dancers from other...
Hi, I'm surprised to see our school featured in an article on this site!!! We were interviewed by the Cleveland Plain dealer last month and we all rushed out to grab our copies of the paper. Lo and behold, the story was picked up by USAToday. That's me in the red dress!
I'm glad how well the...
Hello Dance Family, I guess this is the best place to post this: I went to Victoria's Secret today and was officially measured for a bra. It seems the girls are getting too big for their harness and I kept wondering why my costume bras didn't fit right. Well, not brag or sulk about it, I've gone...
Hi Everyone, Last night I attended the BellyQueen show that is currently touring limited city engagements. A local teacher sponsored a workshop with a show and hafla. While this is not a critical review the following are just my impressions of the show. First, it was nice to see our small BD...
....stand up for ourselves when the world wants to turn us into doormats?
I've read two separate threads, in which the poster was in a difficult social situation. I came way with the impression that somehow it is rude to offend the very people that treats others with disrespect. Why my sisters...
Ok my beautiful people, here's my rant. I currently have 3 classes at the time all within the first 12 weeks of our Beginner A curriculum. This is the first time I've had classes of students who do nothing but walk upright. The greatest frustration is coming from the students themselves and it's...
Hi , I found this clip of a 16 yr old drummer. Based on his profile he is from Germany and very prolific. His technique reminds me of jazz free style just flowing out on a stream of conscious.

Hi Everyone, I read the article mentioned in the title on Hip Circle and it's posted here on the forum as well. The author touched on several subjects that has coincided with some of my own observations. What are your thoughts when you read the article?
For me, most of our students are...
Hi Friends, Is this Mona Said? A while back Maria was searching for a clip of her. The comments section indicated that it was Mona, it's a clip form the 80's. In any event I love her presentation and costume and the subtle nuances of her dance. Enjoy

Hi Everyone, Browsing around in bhuz and found this clip posted by another member. In 2004 the Godfather of Soul and the Prince of Shaabi sang a duet called Leila. Apparently it is featured on one of Hakim's album. I grew up listening to James Brown and everybody copied his moves(we called it...
Hi Brothers, I was just notified by my teacher/boss that my next new class will have the school's first male student. Although I don't plan to teach him any differently than the female students, do any of you have any tips to share? Thanks

Hi Everyone, Drew Carey hosts an improvisational comedy/talent show called "Who's Line Is it Anyway?". In this clip Neena and Veena are guests artists and the two guys have to come up with a song while they dance . It's hilarious!:lol: . Like many of you Neena and Veena were my first video dance...
Hi All, Dipali isn't the only one to post weird and weirder vids!:lol: This is from a bodybuilding contest and I think this is the portion of "talent". Keep in mind in no way is this authentic but a odd fusion of dance and hard muscle poses. Her butt so taut she can screw a lid off a jar!:lol...
Hi All, I just bought the latest CD's from the Copeland group. To tell you the truth, I'm not that impressed with any of the selections. There is so much modern mixing and Western style percussion beats. The first 3 volumes were at least compiled by the dancers themselves and included some...
Do you like Tahtib? I do, but I've always had a feeling of deja vu when watching a perfromance and last night I finally connected the dots:D First performance is a solo Tahtib.Enjoy
