I have my satin chiffon Wings of Isis for sale and a fellow student is interested in purchasing them but she is quite a bit shorter than I am and they are way too long - by perhaps a foot. Her idea is to cut them shorter and hem them by hand along the edge. What do you all think? Doable? If...
Im trying to think of our best options.
The main thing is for them to be as cheap as possible because they might only be used the once.
There are 4 of us. Two tall, slim, small bused, fair skinned women with red hair. Two short, brunette with curves who will definitely need a supportive top...
Who are the people you would get to redo the leather strap on a sword handle? My local shop sells swords but doesn't offer this service and I'm having trouble finding anybody who sells wepons to do this for me. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place? Would a leatherworker be a better shot? I...
Hello,
I have been asked to dance for a mother-to-be at her mother's Blessing which is such an honour and wanted some advice.
For those that don't know this is a ritual borrowed from the Navajo tribal people that Western women have adopted and modified - the original ritual is called a...
She is 11 years old and has been dancing for a few years. This was an improvised dance for the guests at our end of year hafla. This is from the beginning - she started the dance with some veil. She did such a lovely job. Her Dad and sister and I were so proud.
Admin please move if this should be in the beauty section.
I would love to wear earrings for dancing but almost all earrings I see that are glittery-dangly-bellydancey are for pierced ears.
Does anybody know of an online seller of clip-on earings that might suit bellydancing? Clip-ons seem...
Hi Dancing Sisters and Brothers,
I have a little performance coming up. I will be dancing for my Godmother at her 90th birthday party in her back yard. I'm very pleased she was interested in me dancing for her and her party and she has decided to keep me dancing a surprise from her guests...
Hi,
What are everybody's thoughts on women having natural body hair.
I personally think it's normal and natural and while I don't mine when it's removed I am realising that many people are repulsed by armpit hair or leg hair on a woman generally and on a dancer particularly.
I asked my...
What is the difference? I was ridiculed by a fellow dancer for not knowing what a chest shimmy is. I have been taught a shoulder shimmy but have never heard of a chest shimmy.

We are learning a chorie that has been performed years ago by other students in my Belly Dance School. Now we are reviving this chorie and will be expected to make and wear the same costume that the original troupe wore to perform this dance. The outfit is your standard bedlah, hot pink, and...
Hi,
I have been trying to find a copy with English subtitles of the movie "Whatever Lola Wants". Has anybody seen this movie? I"m desperate to watch it. I did try watching it in French by my French sucks and I couldn't follow the plot at all so I'm hanging out for subtitles.
I'd be...
I'm lerning a cane dance and my techer tells me I am stiff and really need to loosen up and relax doing this dance. She has set me homework of watching Youtube clips of cane dancing.
Does anybody have any recomendations of good cane dances that have the right feel?

Hi, I hope this is in the right section. I thought some of you might like to see the photos that my husband has taken of my dance school's performances. We are the Northern Beaches Belly Dance School based in Sydney, Australia. These photos are taken this year and last year at local...
Hi Group,
I hope is okay to mention specific costumers here.
I have finally found what I want to buy as my first "real" belly dance costume. I love it. I got so excited. But now, alas, I get no answer from their e-mail and also no reply from their sister store that sells ballroom dancing...
Hi Gang,
I'm looking for translation for a Khaleegy song called Galalea by Abdul Majeed. It would be wonderful to know the words to the song I am dancing to.
Thanks in advance.
