Bellydance Gifts for the Holidays 2018

ByAmy

Looking for gift inspiration for your favorite belly dancer? Here’s a quick list with seven recommendations. Most of the links are either for Amazon.com or Bellydance.com.

Square sequins hipscarf (I love these!), available on Amazon or Bellydance.com

Gold hipscarf that’s flashy, but quiet.

Not all silk veils are equal! Here are two reliable sources that I recommend: Nahari silks on Amazon and those sold by Bellydance.com.

 

 

If your dancer likes the sparkly stuff, how about a necklace set like this?

 

The more we dance, the more gear we have to haul around! I love these BlueQ bags.

 

If your dancer has a DVD player, this Combination Nation set is a great buy.

 

Belly dancers of all styles (oriental, fusion, etc) need a little make-up to bring out their features for performances. A gift card for Sephora or Ulta is always appreciated.

    ByAmy

    Music that “moves” you is absolutely essential for bellydance,  perhaps even more so than other dance forms.  Oriental (belly) dancers seek to become the music. If an observer were wearing earplugs, the music would should still be seen through the movements. When I perform in restaurants, guests often ask me about the music I use. …
