What style of belly dancing do you prefer or study? I've always loved egyptian belly dancing, but I'm trying to learn more about what is out there. Currently I use the videos by Neena and Veena, and I think they are dancing to an egyptian style. Namaste-Anora

Egyptian is my favorite, but I would love to learn tribal traditional dances like Ghawazee, Guedra, Ayoub and Raqs Al Juzur (a dance balancing a jar on the head!)... Turkish cabaret is amazing, I love how much belly it involves,and Tribal Fusion style is really fun, incorporating beautiful movements from all over, including inspiration from flamenco and traditional East Indian dances....Needlesstosay I love belly dance in all of its forms (minus the gaudy kind that shows no respect for the beautiful and authentic traditional styles), and variety is the key to fun!

Thank you so much for sharing. I've not heard of several of those styles (I'm very new to it) so I'm going to have to research those and take a look. I agree though I don't like the gaudy shows. Namaste-Anora
