So I am going to educate someone on all the different costume styles but I discovered a whole lot is no longer easy to find on Google! It is easy to find modern examples of course but I am looking for old styles like 40-50s, and way before. I found some Ghawazee pictures and that is it! Could...

I have a FB group for costume tips, and this one is tricky: “What's a good costume style for belly that bulges..? I also have an ostomy bag that I need to cover . I had surgery and my saiidi dresses are too tight around my hips.”

Maybe some people might want to chime in on this one:

I remember they used to be for sale on eBay, but I can’t find them anymore. Does anyone know a seller on eBay or Amazon?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, feel free to move it :) what is is the best place to sell second hand costumes and one brands new costume? I am thinking of selling most of my collection :(

I hate hate hate when people make it look like something airy fairy woo stuff, look at this:

Let's talk favourite hair styles for tribal and fusion styles!

I was reading this thread about tribaret on another forum but the idea they had of it didn't make sense to me, they were talking about cabaret style in a tribal costume and tribal in cabaret costume. That's not what it is to me, it's much more mixed, costume and dance wise. So I started looking...

We have a separate music forum, but that's more for ME music, so let's discuss music for tribal and fusion styles here. Any favourites?

Let's talk about who inspires you. Like I mentioned in the other thread I really like The Indigo as a troupe, but I do like them as individual dancers too, think their are pretty amazing. My favourites have changed over time, when I first discovered American Tribal style I was a fan of BCBD, but...

The belly dancer in me has all grown up, 21 years now. I started taking classes in late august '93. That a crazy long time ago haha! The first two classes were 2 hour workshops after which I joined the teachers regular classes. The workshops were part of my university's introduction week, they...

Let's talk about your favourite music to dance to :) any songs that have stuck as favourite? For me it has changed a lot over the years but I will always love the classic versions. I looooooove Radio Bastet for that reason. Just awesome music. I think the reason is that my first cassette (!) was...

This style and in bulk. Last time I got them from Silvex but they are a bit dodgy (the box arrived full of pencil shavings kind of dust, items were tangled and were different what I ordered)

I miss wearing costumes, since I no longer teach or perform, I don't use them, but I would like to incorporate some of it in 'normal' clothes. I already use some hip belts and hip scarves on jeans and skirts and wearing belly dance jewelry, I have been doing that forever but was wondering what...

There is a song called Shaskin, I'm interested to find the lyrics but a Google search turns out nothing, apparently it also exists in Arabic but I have only heard Turkish versions. Omar Faruk Tekbilek has a nice instrumental version, that's my favourite.
