Make Your Own Belly Dance Costumes

When I asked recently for questions and queries on the launch of "Belly Dancing Secrets Vol. I" many of you wanted more information on making or creating your own costumes.

In "Oriental Dance: Discovering The Art of Belly Dancing" there is a whole chapter dedicated to the costumes of the different styles of Belly Dance. And, as a result of your interest in creating costumes, I have added a section to the Resources chapter of the book.

I have searched out the location of 28 different free costume patterns on the internet so you can create you own beautiful dance costumes. The patterns include veils, costume bras, cholis, harem pants, Tribal skirts, Beladi Dress, Caftan, Ghawazee Coat, and many more...

They should keep your creative juices flowing for a long time to come!

What about the rest of the Resources chapter?

• The best places to find Belly Dancing music, costumes (to buy), musical instruments, accessories, gifts and even "fun stuff" on the internet
  
• A list of recommended instructional dvds for belly dancers of different abilities
  
• Belly dancing magazines from around the world, for those who want to further their belly dancing knowledge on a regular basis. Includes magazines for those who are specifically interested in certain styles of dance.

I can also give you the location of the main webpage. At the moment it has a Countdown to Launch but it will all change at 5pm UK time on Thursday 12th October (check out the countdown clock if you want to know what time that is for you - providing I've got it right, of course!):
