as the title says, i am looking for isis wings but specifically TEAL in colour...or if not something that complements a teal and gold costume very nicely..
not looking for gold lame..lol
any suggestions would be great.
thanks!
most of the costumes i have seen on sale have mesh that is what is typically called "flesh toned" to match caucasian complexions.
i am yet to see one that can match darker skin tones. like myself. and for those of you who don't know me i can be described as 'chocolate brown' lol
anyway, are...
I was perusing the local newspapers and saw a notification about belly dancing classes...
out of curiosity decided to make a call
after the usual pleasantries, i decided to ask a few questions about the classes.
things got interesting when I asked her what style she was teaching...she proceeded...
we often speak with great admiration of famous dancers, dancers who have inspired us greatly with their personality and or technique.
are there any up and coming dancers that you have seen that you think are worthy of attention? those who are not as famous as yet but have some spark in them...
I didn't know what else to call it.
anyway, is it typical or even correct, to do floor work in a beledi piece?
is it one of those cardinal rules you just don't venture into?
are there any other do's and dont's for a beledi piece?

found this article from the link caroline provided earlier, and i was particularly struck by this paragraph

does anybody have any advice, links or suggested books/literature on instructions for making appliques?
i have been looking at formal dresses in many boutiques at home and been trying to figure out how they get to bead/sew on the appliques to the dresses..

are there examples out there that we can...
documentaries about arabic culture, egyptian culture..anything besides Ancient egyptian culture...(not that i have a problem with that specifically but that's all i seem to find in my searches)
are there any videos that anybody can reccommend?
they don't necessarily have to do with dance.
thanks!
the first time you hear it, somehow it strikes a chord with you and you think you would feel very comfortable dancing to it?
if so, what are some of those songs..
right now the song for me is Lissa Fakir..
I also like tatil shibek.
and a song by mairo kirlis called Darigh Nur
those are my top 3.
critically analyzing other dancers, in terms of their performance i mean?
is it something that you (meaning person who reads this) would do publicly?
do you think it is fair, or even a part of 'dancer's ettiquette' to do so?
does posting a video of yourself on youtube automatically mean that...
So now that we are discussing what dance styles we think don't suit us..
what costume styles do you think don't suit you? (colour, structure, pants, skirts etc?)
I've been wondering about this for sometime now, having looked at photographs of full length shows that are advertised as oriental dance shows.
for those who produce full length shows, does it ever get tired in terms of coming up with productions and dance sets that may not bore the clientel...
