The intention of this site is to be a friendly and fun place to learn and talk about the art of belly dance. When I first became interested in belly dance and started taking lessons I began looking for information online about belly dance - the history, the culture, the music, and the dance itself. Mostly what I found seemed to be a bit advanced for someone like me, someone who was just starting out and didn’t know all the jargon. I felt a bit overwhelmed, as if everyone who danced, or at least wrote about dancing, were professionals with tons of experience who would find my lack of knowledge on the subject laughable.

So if you are a beginning belly dancer, or just curious about belly dance, you’ve come to the right place. I’ll be here researching and posting information (and learning tons of new things while I’m at it!) and together we can take an amazing journey while learning all about belly dance!
