Belly Dancing New Zealand

Another great email from a blog reader/newsletter subscriber:

"Hello Lisa, I like your description of yourself as a bellydancing enthusiast. Me too, a happy hobbyist and there are more out there - some of us in the Bay ofPlenty, New Zealand, have created Belisha Dance Club to focus our enthusiasm. We dance regularly, (some) perform frequently and are organising a performance in September called Arabian Spice, to showcase local talent. Please feel free to post that info on your magnificent blog. Come see us (New Zealand is a good holiday place as well), dance with us.... Andria"

Andria, I would love to come and dance with you all. New Zealand is definitely on my list of places to visit...so maybe one day!

Lisa

The Name "Belly Dancing"

Thanks to Annette Woodham for today's post. She responded to one of the Belly Dancing Secrets newsletters re: the name belly dancing with this:

"Let me tell you if i may..belly dancing ...is a good name for this dance..since it is very close to some of the countries in the world calling it such as .."waist dance "or "Raghse shekam"..meaning bellly'S dance!..this is all persian ofcourse.or some people call it Arabic dance..simple and easy!. "

Thanks for that great info Annette.
