I thought costuming for Saiidi dance would be easy - I was wrong! My first cane performance is coming up and I have a dress. Its a stripey black and silver affair, lycra with a scooped neckline. But what kind of belt should I wear? Is a coin belt ok? Or would some kind of scarf be better...

Hi Desperately seeking a new costume in my size! I would love a Great Loop, any colour, Pharaonix cup size 6 or 7 with hips around 38/39 inches. Any condition considered. Any bedlah would be fine though, would just like something other than the silver set I already have! Even just a bra...

Anyone affected by these? I have friends in London and some of them are pretty much barricaded into their houses. :( Have also noticed that Hipsinc in Croydon have had to cancel some of their classes because its too dangerous to be travelling to and fro.

I have recently started learning cane dancing and I am completely hooked (no pun intended!) I wonder if people could share their favourite saidi and cane dancing videos? I have only seen a few good ones, there must be more out there!

I am trying to choreograph a piece for around six dancers which will eventually become part of a 'farewell' scene in a show we are staging. The main dancer is supposed to be leaving her friends and family to get married, and will do a short 'goodbye' duet with each dancer. I am having real...

Hi everyone, newbie here needing help! :D I am having huge problems finding costume bras that fit me. I have been dancing for just over a year so need something semi-professional. I have a generic silver bedlah which was made to measure and fits, but...not flatteringly. I bulge out and don't...

Hi! I'm new to the forum and thought I should come here and introduce myself first. I have been dancing for just over a year now, so still a beginner, but completely hooked! Mostly Egyptian cabaret style, but with a few influences from other styles thrown in. Um...not sure what else to say...
