I saw this a while ago, and honestly thought somebody would've posted it by now! K97Wjs4DUdM When I posted it to my facebook account, a lot of people gave them flack and said it wasn't on time enough, etc. But I love it, I think it's pretty damn perfect as is. I really like that its still...

Hi all! Not sure if this needs a new thread or if this should go into the support/encouragement thread - feel free to move it, mods! I recently made a costume from a bra, and although it fits relatively well (my boobs have gotten bigger since making the costume!! :confused: ) the straps at the...

I am busy designing a costume and I need a fresh set of eyes to please look at one of my "patterns" for the belt. I want to bead this in gold on a maroon belt base. I'm still not entirely sure how I'm going to do it, but I know I want to do the outline in bugle beads. What I'm trying to avoid...

A lot of people on this forum are of the opinion that you should cut the straps off the bra and replace them with non-bra looking straps. I just have a slight problem... what on earth do I use to make the bra straps? I've used stretch fabric before and found out the hard way that its not a good...

It's an old vid, so has probably been posted, but I've recently discovered it so maybe others haven't seen it? I don't normally look up male belly dancing on youtube, but a friend sent this to me with the words "just wow. Shocking" And I felt the same after watching half the vid... He's...

I was asked to do a small piece for a performance tonight that includes teaching some belly dance moves. I was just wondering, when you get new students - where do you start? There's so much to it, that it's hard to know where to begin! And I know this sounds slightly ridiculous, but I have a...

A long, LONG time ago I bought these silver circles and I've never used them. They shine really nicely under lights and can give a great effect, but I was wondering - are they corny/cheap looking?

I know that there are tons of bellydance blogs out there (I have quite a few bookmarked) and I was wondering how many of you write belly blogs? If you posted a link, I would LOVE to read it! :) Here's mine! :D The Bellydance Blog

I'm in the process of making a bra, and I've become a big fan of fringing in the last while and I never planned the bra to have any fringe on it, but I'd love the belt to have some - is this something that's OK? I mean, would any of you do it or would it look too mismatched? This is my bra so...

Hi all! I am in the process of making an entire costume by hand, and I want to start working on the bedlah part of it! I'm not sure which material to use as the base - obviously something strong to hold all the bead work! I was thinking a denim base? Somebody suggested I use the same material...

Hi all! I have a question for you that seems a bit vague, but bear with me! :) How do you feel towards studio loyalty? What type of loyalty do you (as a teacher) expect from a student, and what do you expect (as a student) from a teacher? After a mishap with stolen choreography, our studio set...

I had dance practice on Thursday night, and I wanted to wear something a little bit different to the normal tracksuit pants and tank-top. So I created .... THIS! Is a strange mixture of Tribal Fusion (which I'm doing a lot of now) and Cabaret style! What do you think? (PS. The "bra" is actually...

This is more of a "moan" thread than a question about costuming. So I went to the shops with my mom yesterday, and we got some material for a new outfit. We decided on cerise pink with orange (yes, I know! bright colours, eeek!) and we got some beads and then went into the nearest mall to buy a...

For those beginners, I have stumbled across this website, with some great ideas and tons of inspiration! Great hints from make-up, bras, pants, skirts and head accessories! :) Enjoy ladies! Guest Board ;)

Hi Ladies! Here are some belly dance bloopers I came across on YouTube recently! Some are funny, others look quite painful! If you can find any, post them! If you HAVE any, feel free to tell us all about it! QqeahaHioyA&feature=related xcp77e_IIIk&NR=1

Hi Ladies! I have been dancing for almost 2 years now, and am just 17 years old. I have a friend in Australia (I am from South Africa) who did a dance and posted it on YouTube, with her permission, I copied the dance, used her music but added my own style to it. Our studio is changing, and...

Hi Ladies! I've been very bad lately and haven't been on the forums in a while! But I have a question, and who better to ask than a bunch of ladies who dedicate their life to our art form? :) Something has been bothering me lately, and that's dancers that dance in high heels. (I don't...

Hey all, as you might've guessed, im new around here. :) Its great to be part of a forum that has a common aspect, something we all love - belly dance! :) A bit about me, Im a 16 year old girl from South Africa. I've been dancing for a year and 4 months, and I've only been in one show...

I've found that with certain underware that I have, my skirts slip downwards! Cotton seems to be the best I can wear. Also, I once saw nipple-covers on a bellydance website, does anybody here use them? Or maybe something else underneath their bra's? Im 16, and I have a fairly big bust for my...
