Tribal StyleI just got off the phone with my instructor with regards to what we would be dancing for the upcoming hafla. After some initial talk and chitchat, she proposed that we danced a duet ... TRIBAL STYLE!
WOOT! I can't wait!

Bellydance MusicOne of the problems of dancing at home that I faced was getting the right kind of music to dance to. Most of the time, the kind of music that I prefer is Arabic ... or at least, arabic sounding .. cause I really don't know the difference.
That's my biggest problem actually. Ignorance. Luckily, I am dancing solo at home, behind closed doors so no one can actually laugh at me.
Finding bellydance music at the store is tough. Especially when you don't know what you are doing.
But lately, after looking through some forums, I've discovered a liking to Natacha Atlas and Nancy Ajram.
My latest additions to my small but growing collection is:
By Natacha Atlas
- Feres
- Amulet
- Leysh Nat'arak
- Mon Amie La Rose
- Yalla Chant
- Kidda (I LOVE this song!)
- I Put A Spell On You
- Dub Yalil (A nice song, but unsuitable for dancing)
By Nancy Ajram
- Boussi Boussi Bouss
- Enta Eih
- Inta We Bas
- Mo'gaba Moghrama
- Oul Tani Eyh
- Sana Wara Sana
- Sehr Ooyouno
- Shik Shak Shok
- Ya Habibi Yalla
- Ma Fiye Aish
- Atabtab
YAY! I am a happy camper. Shimmy away everyone!
Back!
I have been ignoring this blog for more then a month. Just like my bellydancing. There just doesn't seem to be enough time. Sigh.
The passion for bellydancing is still very much alive in me. I still do dance at home by myself. The feeling I get when I get when I am dancing is so unlike any other.
And it's cardio. God knows I need cardio. I have been eating too much and exercising too little.
I would also like to welcome a new addition to the bellydance world: Skay
Also, I've been asked by instructor, Naziehah, to dance for the upcoming hafla. I am a little nervous. I have never danced before in public ... and in front of other more experienced bellydancers too. How daunting!
Hope we would be able to find the time to get enough practice though. We are all busy, busy women these days.
