Welcome to the world of Middle Eastern Dance or Belly Dance.  This page was created to inform, educate and be a source of this wonderful dance form we love. Within these pages you will find a wealth of information on the history of belly dancing, costuming, books, videos, links, dancers directory, events, articles, spotlight dancer to name a few.  I hope you enjoy your journey through these pages.  Have fun and keep dancing. Thanks for stopping by.  

I have made some changes to my navigation on my website.  All the great information is still here, just organized differently.  My website is getting very large and I continually add to it, so it's time for change.  I have moved my information to the right side navigation bar for quick access to my classes, workshops, performances and shopping at my website and my eBay store.  I have moved the popular resource pages back to the left navigation bar for quicker access and kept the belly dance fun stuff on one page. 

Do you have an event coming up?  Have you written an article? Created a web page?  Please send me your items to be listed.

Check out my classes and start getting in on the fun.  Check out the Dancer's Directory page for instructor's in your area of the Valley of the Sun or my How to Belly Dance page for more ideas on how find an instructor where you live.

Need tribal costumes items like Kuchi jewelry, pendants & belts, bits & pieces to embellish your costumes, beaded items and more???  Check out my new venture in life, Shimmy Bliss Costuming Co.  I'm receiving shipments in about every week so check back often for new items and costumes.  Also check out my eBay store for more goodies, (seller shimmybliss). Thanks for taking a look. 

Any comments or questions, please send your items to Yasmina's
