Me dancing at my boss's retirement party
I couldn't resist adding a page of my favorite bellydance links from all over because a.) I'm a bellydancer (I danced with the Melissae Dance Company from Denman Is., BC, for about 6 years) and b.) I'm an information junkie! This isn't a list of dancers' sites, but some of the links below have such lists.
http://www.maqam.com/ A great source of Middle Eastern music and film-- great prices, inexpensive shipping (even to Canada!), fast service. A HUGE catalog!
http://www.arabfilm.com/ A great source of films (some bellydance) from the Arab world. I have had great service and reasonable shipping rates to Canada from this Washington State company.
My two favorites;
http://www.joyofbellydancing.com/
and
http://shira.net/
If you are into groups and mailing lists, Yahoo! Groups has about 192 bellydance groups!
http://veganbellydancers.tribe.net/ (A tribe for Vegans who bellydance and Vegan musicians who play for bellydancers. Healthy body/mind/dance connection. This tribe is specifically for Vegans.)
