I'm taking bellydancing classes for my New Year's Resolution. I'm gonna tone my bum and deck my bust out with shimmery, shakey, bouncy trinkets. And then wink a whole lot. That's some of my other resolutions to smirk and wink more.
The best teacher is a lady named Badriya bint Daa'ood. I've seen her shake it at the Greek restaurant, she's a goddess.
Here's her website. Maybe I'll see you there.
Please also check out Fahten Ali Munger. She has a mediteranian resteraunt which focuses on Egyptian fare, the Luxor in fountain square and also offers free bellydancing performances there on occasion. She teaches both flamenco and middle eastern bellydancing and is one of the people behind the caravan workshops which has brought such noted belldancers to indy as Nourhan Sharif, and Karim Nagi. Her current classes are at the Garfield Park Arts Center. Please check her out as well if you are interested in flamenco, she is head of a troup called the Fluer De Seville.
