Games

I love puzzles and games - almost as much as I love Belly Dance. What better combination than to mix the two? On this page you'll find some word games and puzzles that will also help to increase your vocabulary and test your knowledge of this wonderful dance of ours.

Tummy Rummy

In my years of teaching I found that one way to get students to experiment and grow their own moves was by forcing them gently to incorporate their own basic movements into different combinations. To make it fun, I invented a game around it. Tummy Rummy will help you to expand your step library, create new combinations, and think on your toes! Tummy Rummy will provide you with definitions of 40 movements and help you to grow them into your own personal movements with over 1600 combinations in over 4800 different ways! Well, mathematically it works out to well over that but I just have fun and come away with something new everytime!!! If you're a teacher, a beginner, advanced, professional, kid or adult, let Tummy Rummy help you with choreography and developing your dance.

Do you hate clones? Can you watch a dancer and in 6 moves tell who she's studied with? Giver her a deck of Tummy Rummy cards and help her develop her own style!

Are you a teacher looking for something new and exciting to do at your next Hafla? Break out the Tummy Rummy and have some fun!

In a rut - having problems in growing your own style? Some believe imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But in this close-knit community of ours, ripping choreography isn't well tolerated - Belly Dance is an art form and business where originality and developing your own style are key to truly understanding and being appreciated in the dance. Grab a deck of Tummy Rummy Cards and get experimental! You'll surprise yourself with what you already know!
