Are there any free form belly dance schools (or privet teachers) in the South Bay?
I live in Campbell and I’m looking for a privet teacher or a school to learn belly dancing. I have a limit on how far I can, so I have to be with in 20 miles at most (or carpool?).
Thanks.
I’m not really sure what you mean by "free form" belly dance. Do you mean one that is not specific in a style? One that improvises the entire class? What?
Here’s a list of resources you may find helpful, the first links are links to directories that have extensive listings for bellydance instructors.
WEBSITES (for finding teachers/classes)
http://www.shira.net – probably the most extensive directory
http://www.middleeasterndance.net – my site which has a decent sized directory as well.
http://www.bhuz.com – another large directory as well as a great forum which can answer pretty much every question you will ever have about bellydance since it’s comprised of bellydancers from all over the world.
If you can’t find lessons looking on these three sites there may not be any in your area.
WEBSITES (for learning moves on-line)
http://www.middleeasterndance.net – my own site look under the movements section, there will be enough to keep you busy for a long time. Also please read the before you begin section with the disclaimer, warm-up, cool-down, and basics about posture.
http://www.shira.net – Shira’s site is an extensive collection of articles written about and for bellydancers and can provide you with a wealth of information that will be very beneficial. It’s one of the oldest and most respected sites on the Internet and is referenced by bellydancers world-wide. She has a specific page which tells you how to do some moves as well as extensive links to other sites that offer on-line lessons as well.
http://www.venusbellydance.com/vocabulary.htm – More movement descriptions.
http://www.aleena.com/miramar/ – go to on-line dance lessons there are several articles about dancing there.
http://www.zilltech.com/onlinelessons.htm – Another old, well, respected website full of information you should check out. She offers a few instructions for several basic moves.
http://www.kawakib.com/page-30.html – more of a technique lesson but might be helpful after learning some basics.
http://www.raqs.co.nz/moves.html – has some descriptions of select movements.
BOOKS
Belly Dancing Basics by Laura A. Cooper (ISBN: 140271078X) – newer book, not great but not bad either.
The Art of Belly Dancing by Dahlena with Dona Z. Meilach – This book is out of print but shows up on amazon and e-bay from time to time. It’s ok but it’s written for a different time the history part is especially questionable but the moves are pretty straight forward.
Grandmother’s Secrets by Rosina-Fawzia Al-Rawi (ISBN: 1566563267) – An interesting read has several descriptions of dance moves as well.
A lot of books have been coming on the market recently and most of them (excluding out of print books) are available at Barnes and Nobel or borders books as well as other chains and smaller stores.
ON-LINE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS
http://www.trybellydancing.com/ – Like a mini instructional video available online. It’s not bad quality.
http://www.expertvillage.com/interviews/egyptian_belly-dancing.htm Several mini instructional segments on various moves as well as zills, costuming, and musicality.
http://bellyrolls.com/howtopage.html – more mini on-line instructionals. The video quality is a little poorer and not is clear to see but the instructional quality is decent.
VIDEOS
Precision Motion Workout Series by Suzanna Del Vecchio – offers good posture basics as well as quality instruction on many moves.
Bellydance for Fitness Series by Neena and Veena Bidasher – this series is very cheap and available from major retailers like target, walmart, borders, and Barnes and Nobel but the quality of instruction is low. This is more of a workout for beginner dancers who already have had some training. The videos are a good quality as far as picture and sound but these are not good for an absolute beginner.
If you have any questions about bellydancing, please feel free to contact me through my site http://www.middleeasterndance.net
Prinzhorn Dance School – “Space Invader”
http://www.prinzhorn-dance-school.com
Released: October 22nd
‘you are the space invader’ is the third single from prinzhorn dance schools critically acclaimed debut album.
in keeping with the last two singles this record is extraordinarily sparse. a pent up blast of rock minimalism. distended drums, strident hook-laden bass, spiky guitars and those distinctive vocals.

Old School 90s Throwback Dance – FUNKMODE does the Running Man, Cabbage Patch, Robocop, Humpty Dance
CLICK THE “HQ” BUTTON OR ELSE THIS WILL LOOK WORSE THAN WHITNEY WITH BOBBY
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
So you might be reading this thinking, “since when are the 90s considered ‘Old School’?” And then you realize that the 90s were 20 years ago. We realized it when Baby T didn’t know half of the dances we were planning to do. We were like, “Seriously? You haven’t heard of the Roger Rabbit???”
Sigh.
But for all of you who were around in them days, bustin’ moves to Young MC and New Jack Swingin’ with Guy and Blackstreet, we’ve made a video montage of all our favorite dances from back in the day. Of course, we made sure to include jams from Bay Area greats like Hammer and Digital Underground.
We shot this in one day all over Emeryville, Cali. We danced at the train tracks, on city rooftops and even Pixar Studios. Cara went to great lengths to make sure our outfits matched the times right down to the knee pads, one-strapped overalls and black beauty lipstick. Do her a solid and notice the effort she put into the details.
There were so many more dances we could have put in and it was hard as @#$% to choose only 10 songs, but we couldn’t let this thing get too long. If you’re really feelin’ it, maybe we’ll do a PART 2 … let us know!!!
TRACK LIST:
1) It Takes 2 – Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock
2) U Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer
3) Push It – Salt N Pepa
4) Poison – Bell Biv Devoe
5) Every Little Step – Bobby Brown
6) Rollin’ with Kid N Play – Kid N Play
7) Cabbage Patch – World Class Wreckin’ Cru
Humpty Dance – Digital Underground
9) Ride It (The Train) – Quad City DJs
10) 2 Legit 2 Quit – MC Hammer
You can get all of these awesome old school jams @ http://www.amazon.com/mp3 or on iTunes … and you should … do it … go buy em … now!
All Love – FUNKMODE
