Belly Dance Supplies

Fat Chance Belly Dance

The best in tribal products. Everything in this catalog is hand picked by Carolena. I can attest to the quality of the tribal costuming by Flying Skirts. The music, video and book selections are superb.

Baladi Boutique

Baladi Boutique has a great selection of cabaret costumes as well as live performance videos of some of the best dancers in the US.

Salome's Tent

Has some interesting one of a kind items and also offers Aladdin's Lamp, a custom shopping service that helps you find items to round out your dance wardrobe.

Domba!

Wow!! Do they have cool stuff!! Belly dance costumes with a Renaissance feel.

Pink Gypsy

Lots of cool links and supplies for belly dance.

Music

Please note that links under belly dance supplies also carry music.

Rashid Sales

Rashid has an enormous selection of Arabic music. They have a much larger selection than the site would lead you to believe. I find it best to call about availability of a title. It is worth the phone call.

Omar Faruk Tekbilek

One of my favorite middle eastern musicians. He has another site here.

Simon Shaheen

A superb violinist and oud player. This master is doing an incredible job of preserving classical compositions of Arabic and Turkish music. He runs an Arabic Music Intensive Study Program as well as an Arab Cultural Festival on the East Coast. His recordings are for sale online.

Nourhan Sharif

New York City based dancer who has produced a fabulous CD "Raqs Sharqi Vol. 1". Two great oriental routines; highly recommended. Click on her name to order CD online.

Videos

Please note that some links under belly dance supplies also carry videos.

Suhaila Salimpour

Suhaila has her own fabulous products for sale as well as a few other select things. I highly recommend her videos. My favorite performance videos are "Unveiled", "Dances for the Sultan" and "Suhaila Salimpour Dance Company Live 1997". All of her instructional videos are outstanding including the Jamila Salimpour Archive Series. Visit her online shopping page.

International Dance Directory

A guide to over 200 Middle Eastern Dance videos. The catalog is not online, but is well worth ordering a hard copy.

Shamira has a great belly dance exercise video called "The Sensuous Workout".
