Belly Dance Page I hope you enjoy exploring the Belly Dance Page. On this page you'll find belly dance related articles, pictures, and samples of the handsignals used in my old Caberet or ATS troupe basic choreography patterns. And soon to come - Check out how other dancers rate the CDs out there in my Rate the Music section. You may be surprised to find some little known titles and often overlooked artists that have some excellent danceable pieces! My ultimate favorite albumns that withstand the test of time are Oriental Bouquet by Harry Saroyan and Shawaza by Solace - two totally different genres, both gorgeous. In the Egyptian genre, Cairo Lounge or Cairo Classics are right up there. Best drum solo - Sahra Saeeda. Best rhythm ID albumn (while still remaining performance quality) is Rhythm of the Dance by Solace though I now totally love Moon Moth - Solace's latest for steady workout or performance music too! Best 9/8 is Dere by the Sultan's! | Basic step or the Egyptian step is usually taught with a step-touch cue. The handsignal is up and relaxed. |
