It's interesting to see how many people reach this point (or some variation of it) in our dance journeys. After two years of learning Suhaila format and "dancing as exercise" I've come to realise that there is so much more to belly dance.
I'll keep going to my current classes as I really enjoy them but I'll be supplementing them with other study. When I first started, I remember feeling soooooooo smug and educated for even knowing the terms "ATS", "Fusion" and "Egyptian"*. Now I know that I've barely even scratched the surface!
I'd echo what others have said about this site, Bhuz and Shira.net boing invaluable resources. And thanks to the fantastic advice in this thread I now own (and listen to) ME music! I've even started signing up for workshops.
Yes, it's a new phase in my journey but I think BigJim sums it up perfectly:
