Dancing is not just all about technique and skill, it is also about your confidence. When a woman is confident in herself, everything falls into place. However, there are many women out there who lack it.

Right now, the weather may not be your best friend. All this craziness is keeping most people inside. Just remember that there are belly dance events all over this great country. I just decided to narrow some events that are upcoming.

Early August 2008, I had the opportunity to experience the Suhaila Salimpour Multi-Level Workshop. It was an experience that I will never forget.

On September 6, 2008, Destination Cairo performed at the HABDA Gala. It was a night filled with excellent performances by many beautiful dancers. Destination Cairo, the dance troupe that I belong to, performed to a fun, energetic song called "Hep Hup Remix" by Yeni Mezdeke.

Not much is known about Gypsy dance or the Roma culture, but through dancers like Simona Jovic, the story can be told about a culture that is vibrant. Today, she travels around the world teaching her audience the true Roma style of dance and music.

There are so many images that come to mind with the mention of the word Gypsy. Immediately, one thinks of freedom, dance, and living wild. A beautiful, earthy woman dancing for the public. These are only stereotypes.

Being part of a dance troupe is a unique experience, especially when you and the others know nothing about each other, except belly dance. You and the others share that only interest, but there is much to learn about one another.

Workshops, belly dance seminars, are the hot thing for the summer. Most professional belly dancers have put together impressing, summer packages that just call out your name. However, before making your choice, there are some things to take into consideration.

Belly dance is a rich history within itself. To pass on this art form from one dancer to another, signifies that the dance will go on for years to come. From one woman to another, from one mother to her daughter, the dance is a celebration of true womanhood.

Yes, that´s right. Your feet are often ignored because your entire body rests on them. Just because your feet allow the rest of your body to be free, doesn´t mean everything is great; your feet need attention.
