What are your experiences on working with them for costumes? I've got this V.S. gel push up bra with the wire sticking out that I never wear and that I've decided to use for my latest project (yes i have 3 other projects still, whatever!) and I've pinned the fabric to the bra already. I know I...

I just got my gift from my brother today and it's a beautiful black and purple galabeya that he got in Iraq! It fits great and is just stunning...however...the neck hole is pretty small. I can't fit my head through it! And I'm kind of upset. I really love it and it's perfect length and fits...

"Recently, there has been a lot of interest in building anthropomorphic robots. Research on humanoid robotics has focused on the control of manipulators and walking machines. The contributions of the torso towards ordinary movements (such as walking, dancing, attracting mates, and maintaining...

For hips up to 41", with one or two slits full slits, silver or white. Chiffon or any material really, 36"-37" long I'm a full time college student so I'm on a budget! (after birthday money arrives I may be having a little chat with Alosha again ;) ) I'm also looking for an inexpensive...

Hey! I'm looking for someone to make a costume base for me, like making the heavily enforced bra with the back straps (neck can be separate) and the enforced belt. I know some vendors do it, but from what I have seen they have been...flimsy or way overpriced. If not make it for me, then can...

v=yinQIO4OMt4 YouTube - BELLY DANCE WITH JANETTE Z. ON PENSACOLA BEACH, FLORIDA 2009 umm. please watch the "floorwork" she does on the beautiful Pensacola white sandy beach. this looks like she watched a turkish dancer 30 years ago and then realllllly went crazy with it. the veil work makes...

So the Pensacola Ren Faire is coming up in March (ish) and I would like to perform. However I'm really on the fence about it. I don't do tribal, and I know little to hardly any folklore! I do modern Turk-American Cabaret so flashy and sequins and lycra... should i just attend as a viewer and...

(Wow we are having lots of spin-offs, huh?) STYLES! Not just for long, but for short hair too. I read Amulya's last post and thought we could have this thread for ideas on danceable hair styles. For instance, i'm in a current rut: My hair is naturally wavy (not super tight like awesome...

has anyone used this for costumes or anything for that matter?? if so, what is it like? does it make the fabric stiff or is it awesome :cool: ?

Recently I had a gig at a bachelorette party/bridal shower at a beach house. the people were so nice and they were having such a wonderful time and were participating greatly (i did a one song performance followed by a 1 hour class). but then they started making references to shakira and...

I REALLY do not like Dolphina. I'm sorry for those out there who adore her, but I finally saw one of her dvds and i was soooo disappointed. She gets so much advertising and goes on tv shows and movies and she is IMO no where NEAR the top of the top!! I looked on youTube to see if maybe her...

Is it a truly different and unique style or is it more like Egyptian, but with a different "flavor"? I ask because i went to a moroccan restaurant in Savannah, GA a while ago and the dancer was wearing a turkish style bedlah and danced to an Ihab Tawfik song. i did notice a moroccan 6/8 (i...

Would like the lyrics or even just a basic understanding what the song is about please!! Thank you everyone! :dance:

for crying out loud!! i just want to get some cheapo plastic simple brooches (as in...an oval.) or even just sew on stuff in amber like color for my animal print costume. but everywhere i look they are freaking expensive, antique, and wholesale. i just want a few...:pray: if you know of any...

hey everyone! so here is the problem: i am making a new cossie and i want the bottom to have an off center dipped/slanted/pointed front or whatever you call it. it's not super noticeable but it's just slightly lower (see the link to a video if you don't quite understand what i am trying to...

...suppose a Sha'abi artist was enthralled and greatly inspired by an American artist, like say, Michael Jackson. Now suppose this artist made a big hit song that had a few American/Michael Jackson influences (whatever they may be) and an oriental dancer decided to perform to this song for her...

Okay! This is fun and silly. Suppose you ate the person above you. what would they taste like? And you can say meat and blood...but that isn't fun haha. like...pasta or raspberries or peppermint, etc. proceed!

describe an experience you had at some kind of function where someone tried to do some "Belly dancing" and it made you want to claw your eyes out. As in, you go to a play and one of the scenes is a harem scene and they are belly dancing for the sultan, etc. just last night i went to DCI...

Hmmm... I love belly dance. I love latin dance. I love polynesian dance. I love teaching all these things. HOWEVER I prefer to leave belly dance OUT of Zumba. Zumba, in case you haven't heard of it, is the new dance fitness craze that is built primarily on Latin dance (though I have seen...

I read on atlantabellydance.com in the bellygram and performance section that having a belly dancer at a wedding reception or engagement party is good luck in bringing children, happy home, and joy to the family to be. There was also some stuff on there about belly dance orginating as a way to...
