http://www.tiac.net/users/morocco -- Morocco is THE most knowledgeable dancer in the world – about history of the art form and culture. Read this article http://www.tiac.net/users/morocco/give2lite.html for a wonderful adventure story about her being in the Moroccan countryside disguised as someone’s deaf and dumb maid and the magical connection between dance and childbirth she witnessed!!
http://www.shira.net – The Art of Middle Eastern Dance – by Shira, a local dancer who has collected all kinds of resources here. Her links are great and this site is huge. By far the best local site and I would guess in the top 5 in the world for belly dance.
For costumes and accessories – best prices for the quality is http://www.scheherazadeimports.com/ or call 804-749-3480 (Virginia)
