Customer Reviews

For Many, the ONE that started it all!

For me, this is the one that started it all! While house-sitting for my aunt, I found this book on her shelf. She had told me that I was welcome to use any of her books and music. Once I found this book, I worked with it for the rest of the summer. When she returned and saw what I had learned, she gave me the book. I had fallen in love with bellydance! Great book!

One of The First

This book, written in 1973, was one of the first available when the 70's bellydance craze began. It was my first introduction to the Art, as I could not afford an instructor. I now own many books, and as a bellydancing Grandma still consider this the best. This book gives insite into the character of the Dance that is missing in so many other sources, but still celebrates the sensuality that makes the Dance.

Classic

I feel very fortunate to have an original copy of this classic bellydance book in my bellydance library. The book contains captivating black and white photographs that express the mystique and sensousness of bellydance. The book has a vintage charm and is a must have for all bellydancers. I don't use this book as a learning tool, but rather as an inspiration and an expression of the love of bellydance.
