I've tried everything I can think of I even had strong sleeping pills from the doctor, but they only worked once or twice and then I seemed to become immune:(

I just love the whole idea of it:dance: I think it's a wonderful way to remember to celebrate someone's life rather than just mourn it.
I think the lion one is just incredible.
Some examples:

I discovered a bellydance News blog Dance Newsby a Swedish based dancer called Siryn that has some great interviews on such as Dina: Daring, Debauched or simply Delightful?
Dance News: Dina: Daring, Debauched or simply Delightful?
She also has other interviews with Liza Laziza, Keti Shariff and...
I didn't see the message but I did notice a banned person was able to log in, is that still possible once you've been banned - or do we have a glitch?

This is just pure curiosity (inspired from an article), but I was wondering if there were slight recognisable regional differences between belly dancers from the same country, such as Egypt or Turkey. I know it is not easy as each dancer tends to have their own styles but I wondered if there was...
Thought everyone would be interested in this: it's two clips of Kudret Sandra (Sandrali). i don't know anything about him, perhaps some of our Turkish dancer's do, but the caption says he taught other famous dancers like Prenses Banu. Nice singing voice as well.:D

It's not belly dance but I thought I would post this show here. It features Jordanian ballet/modern dancer Rania Kamhawi.The clip shows examples of her fusions of ballet with folkloric dances such as debke. So for once we can have a Middle Eastern fusion and secondly instead of bellydance being...
Hi All,
Well somebody sent me this great clip and although I'm sure a lot of you have come across it on Utube for those that haven't - ENJOY!!!:dance:
Dandash, who is one of my fav dancers, imitates the famous dancers such as Samia Gamal and Suheir Zaki.

I am completly confused on where this thread should go I first thought BD Events then realised it's not actually belly dance per se so I choose here plz move if needed..
Anyway just letting people who live in East Anglia and aroundabout - there is a Natacha Atlas & Mazeeka Ensemble...
Hi all
I have been wondering where does this move (snake arms) originate from?
For many people (mainly I think non-belly dancers) this move is recognised and greatly assosiated with belly dance - almost to the point that one could claim that to some it is part of a sterotype movement/image of...
