Fights, they make me feel nervous.

I've been practicing middle eastern (belly) dance for a little under 10 years. Has anyone seen her dance?

No, I didn't say I'm good at it. That’s why I say ‘practicing.’ My good friend is in a troop that tours and she started teaching me precise moves. You should see some of the women I’ve learned from! If you've done some dance, you would appreciate that. Absolutely beautiful!

Somewhere on here, someone said something derogatory about men doing bellydance. Of course, the dance is traditionally a dance by women, for women. But, if a guy CAN do it, all the more power to him. Wake the kundalini!

Yea seen some good belly dancers around Sydney. Actually we had a b'day at a Greek restaurant last year, and they had 2 belly dancers, a guy and a girl. It was the first time I'd seen a male belly dancer. He was good must admit.

Looks like Azeri-Cherkez dance.

No. It is traditional type of dance from the Caucasus region. But, of course, ask an Armenian and it's an Armenian dance, ask a Georgian and it's a Georgian dance, ask an Azeri and it's an Azeri dance.

Btw, those rather imitation looking swords are meant to be the short, two-edged, pointed ended, sword found throughout the Caucasus region and known as a "Kindjal". Its design is thought to have come from the type of sword used by the Roman legions.

Typically, Caucasian kinjals are usually ornate and have a curved end. Although straight ones are also found, particulurly when dealing with a lazy blacksmith.
