Becoming a Belly Dancer: From Student to Stage

There are now a fair number of books covering "everything a bellydancer needs to know" - so why add this one to your reading list? Quite simply, because it's a fantastic 402 page read filled with equal measures of common sense, personal experience, and jolly good fun. Put together by four hugely-experienced dancers, this feels like a book made by members of your bellydance family because they love you and want you to have the very best time, whatever your age or experience. I could list all the good things I found inside that I've never seen anywhere in print before. I could equally list all the good things I've read before, but never seen quite so clearly or entertainingly expressed. There isn't a dull page in all 402. And nearly every one of those pages comes with a beautiful studio portrait shot too - so along with everything else there are lots of ideas for poses and personas next time you put yourself in front of the camera. It's such a happy book, you're guaranteed to come away smiling.

I tried to return this and am still trying to. They make it so hard for you to do so - buyer beware. Don't go there.

Good value for money

I couldn't put this book down, had to read it from cover to cover. Everything you need to know in one easy read. Learned some new tips, even though I've been a professional belly dancer for thirty years. Would highly recommend to my belly dance students.
