Belly Dance, The Joyful Journey of Dancemaking and Performing
by Ramona Reviewed by Dina
This
book would be excellent when coupled with a good dance instructor
or Ramona
herself. She is thorough with her information and was successful
creating a book that people can enjoy, if their wallets were big
enough.

vs. Barbary Coast: It’s an east coast west coast
showdown! Review
and photos by Surreyya
Comedic timing, clever costuming and an endless supply of
mojo bring about the wonderment of the early settlers of the California
gold rush, with a taste of burlesque, and a taunt of influences from
around the globe.

Fusion, Bedouin, What's the Difference? 4 DVDs reviewed and
compared by Rebecca Firestone
When I see a dancer I really like, I want
to *be* her, or him, right at that moment. My heart leaps at the
music and then leaps
again when I see what they're doing. With this one, I was interested,
but not that engaged.

International Belly Dance Congress told by Salwa of Belgium
(the winner of the contest pro category)
September 28-30, 2007, in Bogner Regis, England.
Not
being able to prepare my planned choreography properly for the Oum
Kalthoum song, which is not easy to interpret to begin with, I quickly
turned to emotions in order to fill up the space.

Del Vientre by Devorah Korek Book Review by Gregory Burke
Translation by Amina Goodyear
Book is in Spanish. Once in a while an object of desire
comes along, which is deemed important by its obscurity. Such could
be the case with this hardcover, difficult to acquire tabletop adornment
from Devorah Korek, an American-born Belly Dance teacher living and
thriving in Spain.

Dance presents Cairo Nights: 2005 and 2006 DVDs reviewed
by Catherine Barros
There are so many nuggets packed into these 3 DVDs other
than the 3 dancers for which I purchased them. I keep finding things
that I really enjoy as I go back to watch them time after time.
