Lets all say your top 3 positives about this forum. It is the happy and festive time of the year and lets do something positive and happy.

my top 3

1. It is addictive. The best addiction I ever had.
2. Met some awsome people.
3. For me it is like "Help desk". I got lot of help from this forum.

Happy times everybody!
Love
Janaki

Heh, I think it will soon get monotonous, as we all like the same things :) So, here are mine:

:dance: Great people, who are knowledgable, yet they still have different enough opinions to show the knowledge from different sides. Also the fact, that you can now travel almost anywhere and meet a shimmying and smiling soulmate.

:dance: The huge amount of information here... Even when there wouldn't be new threads, you can still feed off the old discussions and videos posted for a VERY long time...

:dance: The wackyness that arises every now and then... The B*****s of Bellydance, the Bellydance Police, the Sacred order of lady Balady, rhinotyping and so much more

Guess what, it all just comes down to people... Hugs to you all!!!

1) So many intelligent, funny, articulate, sweet, beautiful women and handsome men. Dancers or no, you guys are people I would want to visit with anyway.

2) The diversity of the board is amazing. I love being able to talk to people from Spain, Greece, Mexico, and exotic SPOKANE! ;)

3) I love listening to other people's opinions and experiences, and feeling like mine are being considered as well. I love that we can agree to disagree, and that even when we get our feathers ruffled, we come to a place of better understanding and appreciation for each other and our diverse viewpoints.

1) Forum member's shared experiences and, most especially, humor! (I've lived all over the world and I'm a member of forums ranging from pet-related topics to photography to sports cars to all types of dancing - I am firmly convinced that dancers, by far, have the best sense of humor.)

2) Kinda goes back to point 1 - the amount of belly dance information here is off the charts.

3) I love the way this forum is laid out - sooo easy to navigate!

Golly, just three??

1. People with interesting backgrounds, experiences, POV, who share what they know with humor, courtesy and respect for differences.

2. Terrific videos and references to books, music, etc. I wouldn't have found by myself.

3. Support for pursuing what makes us our best, as well as what we love.

Where to begin...

1. a bottomless source of information about oriental dance(s)
2. the richness of the experience of seasoned dancers
3. a forum where we can discuss freely, disagree without calling each other names, and where beginners are also treated with respect and encouraged in their journey of discovery!

I visited several forums dedicated to oriental dancing in the past years, but it's here that I keep coming back...

Thanks Janaki! I've never witnessed any comment such as "Oh but you're just starting, what do you know?", thank goodness! :clap: Beginners can have their say and their opinion is taken into account in the discussions. This is what a real caring community is all about!

What a great thread to start!! Here are my three most important ones:

1. Meeting all of you and making many new friends I'd someday LOVE to meet. It's like you guys are family. If I don't visit for a longer period of time I start missing y'all:D.
2. A wealth of information on just about anything, PLUS many different insights to be shared on those subjects.
3. Most respectful and warm community of dancers I've seen so far.

I guess that explains it all. I don't like listing only three positives, but if I list them all I think there'll be no room for others to post here:cool:.
