Since I have been doing this blogging thing for a whilenow, I have come to the conclusion that I can't be the only blogging bellydancer in the world.
I am not talking about blogs which have a mention or 2 of bellydance in them- actually real live dancers who actually write about what they are up to- not just publicise stuff for sale- be it workshops, performances or costumes etc etc (ok I know I do other these things too- but you know what I mean!!!!!!!!!!!)
….. so after an hour or so (ok, call it 3 or more!) sitting surfing, I have come up with some other bellydancing blogs for your blogging delight…………. In no particular order (well- apart from the 1st one of course!!!!) …………
www.bellylorna.blogspot.com – me!!!
www.naimasbellydanceblog.blogspot.com – great, well written and fun and informative!
www.elektrasbellydanceblog.blogspot.com – Not updated recently- but a few interesting thought on what bellydance is about and how it should be taught…….
www.bellydancertaaj.blogspot.com – a feisty character with some good advice! Very enjoyable read.
www.shimmyblog.org – a regular and interesting blogger on all matters dance and learning bellydance.
www.bellydancerlessons.blogspot.com – interesting if you too have started bellydance lessons recently- she seems very good at practicing…. And I LOVE the idea of practicing in the dark!!!!!!
www.howtobellydance.enchantmentunlimited.com – this one has a list of how to do it- for beginner bellydancers….. and tips on music and costumes..
www.belly-babes.co.uk/blog.html - a UK based site with some interesting blog entries including 'choosing a dancing name'!
www.bellydanceblogs.net – This one kind of takes the fun out of surfing for bellydance blogs- but gets you where you want to be very quickly! A whole listing of LOTS of bellydancing blogs (knew someone had to have got there before me!) - and easy step by step in case you are inspired after reading all this to make up your own blog too!
Oh- and I came across these on my blog search- some websites of the other dancers who work at the same place as me- interesting how their experiences echo mine !!!
www.joanabellydance.com – from Portugal.
www.outiofcairo.com – from Finland.
This blog list is of course by no means exclusive and please don’t feel offended if I haven't mentioned yours- just tell me about it and I'll add it on!
I am all for scratching backs…. And if people fancy linking my blog onto theirs in return for the mention, although not compulsory of course- I'd be deeply grateful!!!

Thanks for the mention! I stumbled your page at stumbleupon.com
Thanks for the nod. I like to see dance blogs from dancers in different countries. Seeing the same dance in different cultural settings is very interesting =)
Great list, thanks!
I added you to my Links page, it's only fair cause I really enjoy reading your blog. My blog ( http://www.bellysophie.com ) is not updated regularly, but I try to make it interesting with articles about local dancers, trip accounts and workshop and video reviews.
I've just started a new blog at http:/bellydanceoz.com. I've set it up undated, as I want all the dancers to have equal billing, and not disappear into archives!
My dream is to have a site that's funded by my eBay store, but its main purpose will be to showcase Australian belly dancers. The hard part is finding videos so I can set up the profiles!
Happy to link to other blogs if you link to me!
