    Getting back to dance

    I was learning belly dance for some years around twenty. I never performed, but I thoroughly enjoyed the art form. I was mostly self-taught from DVDs, but I had a degree of skill. I haven't danced for five years now because stuff sort of happened and I lost the desire to dance. It came back, but...

    Costuming advice for curvy girls

    Hi everyone, I'd need a little advice because I'm about to make my first costume and I'm unsure how to go about it. I feel I have a difficult body to dress generally, there's too much that can go wrong (and I seem to be an expert in this regard :think:) - I'm posting a picture. (yes, the bra...

    I'd need advice whether it's possible to enlarge a bra cup for a costume bra. I wear a 32G bra in UK sizing (that would be an I in US).

For long years only music I was listening to was metal - mostly symphonic...

    Skin irritation from shimmying - what am I doing wrong?

    It is very weird - sometimes when I shimmy for longer periods of time, the skin on my belly gets irritated. It's all red, itchy, and the two stretch marks swell and I'd swear they're getting longer. I don't have a particulary big belly, but not a small one either. I'm your typical small-waisted...

    How to learn balance

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, and new to bellydancing as well. I enjoy both ;) But I would like to ask about one problem I'm having. In normal life, I can fall down on perfectly level pavement. I always fall somewhere, needless to say I have a very hard time keeping balance on tiptoe. I got...
