Hi all, someone pointed me to this website the other day and I'd thought I'd post it here. It's a Spanish site that lists a menu of online TV channels from all over the world, including several Middle Eastern channels - scroll down to see the list (it is in Spanish alphabetical order though, so...

Hi all, I need some advice on nutrition. Recently I took up judo for a number of reasons, among which was the desire to develop more strength and coordination for dancing. I was wrong, it seems, because I’m now a lot more tired at the end of the day, and I can’t face the thought of drilling, or...

I go away for two weeks, and come back to find everything falling down: my teacher called last night to tell me that, due to a family situation she's going through, she had to make the decision to suspend her twice-weekly classes until after the summer. I've already thought up of two other...

I don't know about if it was the same with anyone else, but it seemed to me that the word game thread was taking longer and longer to access when you clicked it, probably because it's gotten so huge, so I thought it would be convenient to start a new one. Little Red Riding Hood (to Ranya's last...

Hi all, just thought to add one more game to the list. In this case, you ask a question to any of our forum mates who are knowledgeable about the subject. It can be bellydance-related, but the idea is basically to ask about subjects that don't fit in the other forums. So I'll start: The first...

Who knows some good websites and books on the history of jewelry, costume jewelry, bijouterie, piercings, styles and trends etc.? Seems every time I look for information I come up with nothing but online shops… not very useful. I’m looking for any kind of info, not just on Middle Eastern /...

Hi all, Does anyone here buy from Hollywood Music Center? What has been your experience? Seems like most of its videos are multirregional, and hopefully they ship to Europe... a friend wants to order a dvd, and I might order something too to split the shipping costs... has any of the European...

Hi all, Lately when I shimmy, I feel a very slight pain in my lower back and knees. It’s not bad, but it worries me that I could be doing something that will result in a serious problem later on… I make sure my posture is correct, and when not dancing I try to remember to sit and stand...

I believe it was Maria Aya who posted this clip a while back in the old forum. She's a student of Lulu Sabongi, and I liked her very much, so I though I'd bring it back. -kFTEQl1RvU

Is there one or more songs that you would really, really like to be able to dance well someday? Here are a few of mine: - Zay el Assal, by Sabah. - Hobak ala Feyn, from Journey of the Gypsy Dancer (3rd of Jalilah’s series). - Tahtil Shebbak, by Fatme Serhan. - Fahra Amira, by Mostafa Sax -...

Hi all, thought about starting this topic when reading by the National Attitudes Towards BD thread… It’s always fascinated me the wide variety of day professions and backgrounds bellydancers have, and I’m curious to know if studying bellydance, or working as a pro dancer has had any...

This subject came up on another thread, and I thought it would make a good discussion. What is it exactly that you love about your favorite dancer/s? I'm kind of unable to explain why I like my favorite dancers, I guess because I haven't been studying for long, and I'd love to hear what everyone...

Hi all, Thought I’d make a separate thread for cane dancing clips, so it won’t get too confusing as people add new clips to the different threads. Also I’ve really neglected the cane in the past couple months, so I decided to collect these links for inspiration to start practicing again...

I’m a bit bummed out since we've gone on break from bellydance classes for the summer, especially since not long ago I’d joined a student troupe and was really enjoying our rehearsals. Is it common for lessons to stop during summer where you live? I used to think this was essentially a Spanish...
