Greetings All!

Welcome to my passion! If you're interested in Belly Dancing, Raks Sharki, Mid-Eastern Dance, Danse Orientale, Oriental Dance, Mid-Eastern Music, Mid-Eastern Drumming, Orientalism or the Middle East, you've come to the right place. If you don't find what you're looking for here, you'll at least find links to it! I've tried to organize this site so it's a useful resource for dancers, teachers and students. If you don't find what you're looking for or have comments, please let me know...

I've created a new site for some of personal stuff - you will find info on my classes, show schedule, poetry, photo gallery, video clips, artwork and other fun stuff at my new site: http://www.AzizaSaid.com.

You'll find some shopping - a Book Store, Music Store, Video Store and Dancer's Art Cards. These are mostly oriented around Mid-Eastern dance, training and culture - music for performance and practice - books on Mid-Eastern dance history and culture, language, travel - books on performance, practice, technique and creativity - books on costuming and on historical and Orientalist art - videos of dancers and costume ideas.

Check out the Hot List for links to all sorts of Mid-Eastern Dance resources - there are suppliers, vendors, sources for costumes, music, instruments, cultural items. There are links to dancers, performers, teachers and troupes throughout the world. If it has anything to do with dancers, performers or the Middle East, you'll find it there...oh, and there's an FAQ as well...

If you're interested in pictures, there are several sets here - a gallery of pictures of my troupe Anwar Al Sahaara - a gallery of the members of the MED-Dance email list (mostly dancers) - some of my collection of old photos, paintings and etchings, many of them from the 1893 World's Fair. There some Orientalist works, and some 1930's and 1940's pinups too.

I will be adding to this site - it's updated almost every week - and will be adding more FAQ and instructional information, more pictures and links, more items to the stores... so bookmark it and stop by again... and welcome!
