Although this is about a forthcoming dance festival, I felt it would be of more use is posted here, in the male dancers section in hope that it is of help to all the curious lurkers and others who happen upon this website whilst searching an interest they may have, musch as I did, when I first sought to belly dance.
This, is an excerpt from an email I received from Afra Al Kahira responding to an enquiry I made regarding myself going to the forthcoming celebrating dance festival in Torquay, Devon. It is reproduced with the author's permission ;
...........About the festival itself - we pride ourselves on having a friendly and open atmosphere at Celebrating Dance. Everyone is made to feel welcome regardless of level or indeed gender. Celebrating Dance is about exactly that - celebrating the art of dance, whoever happens to be doing it! I am passionate in my support of men being accepted into our dance community and do my best to promote this wherever possible. I have coached many male dancers over my 30 years in the business and I am delighted to see that more and more of you are starting to get involved again, after so being discouraged by certain less enlightened parts of our dance community. Dancing is for everyone, not just an elite few!
Okay, that's me off my soap box! If you have any other questions please let me know!
Kind regards

Just beautiful, and encouraging.
