How many of you bellydance?

Question

What's a good CD (or artist) that you like to use? I like the one for Desert Rose with various artists. It has a lot of songs that are used in their shows.

Answer 1

I am a belly dance instructor and performer. There are multiple styles of this dance and different music recommendations would be appropriate for the different styles.

What is your favorite style?

Pentaphobe, more techno-styles

Answer 2

I would love to learn to bellydance, but I would look so stupid that everybody else in the room would fall over laughing. I don't think I have a sexy bone in my body, lol.

I don't even think in the conservative part of the country, where I live, a belly dancing class would even exist. They probably think it's evil like Harry Potter, or something lame like that, lol.

Have fun!!!!!
