The Table Of Contents Tells the Whole Story!
By Dawn Devine
I'm going to start with a disclaimer, I wrote one of the articles in the Belly Dance Reader, but I'm not here to toot my own horn. Rather, I'd like to share with you my delight and amazement at the quality and scope of this book. I just got my copy, and it occurs to me that from the description above, you can't really make the most informed decision about purchasing The Belly Dance Reader. But rather than tell you how much I love it, I thought I would give you something even better - the Table of Contents! Just one quick skim, and you will see that this book has an amazing collection of authors from academics to working professionals, this book has a little something-something for every belly dance enthusiast. I'm enjoying reading this collection! Happy Costuming! Dawn Devine ~ Davina (Author of Embellished Bras and Costuming from the Hip)

A good collection of articles by dancers who know their stuff!
By Maura Enright
The book contains lots of what I wanted, which is, research and strong opinions by folks who have earned the right to have an opinion. Too many of the existing belly dance magazines are little more than belly-dance versions of People magazine, predictably featuring the dancer-du-jour and then filling the rest of the pages with bits of diluted information and rambling articles on topics that have been recycled for decades. This book is more like the late lamented Habibi and Arabesque magazines, capturing the insights and enthusiasms of articulate people who are Names in their field. You won't be bored. I suggest you buy it.

Review for "The Belly Dance Reader" from the editors of Gilded Serpent
For anyone at all interested in the art of belly dance, "The Belly Dance Reader" from the editors of the Gilded Serpent, will enthuse and educate. Its collection of articles, written in part, by many Bay Area dancers, are geared towards the novice, but has valuable insight for both advanced and professionals as well. It offers a variety of articles addressing belly dance basics, such as costuming, make up, and working with a live band, to more educative topics, such as, origins and styles of belly dance, their evolutions, and important discussions about depicting cultures and ethnic groups accurately. Most of the articles are very accessible to the average reader via first person accounts, but this great source also easily forays into a more collegiate realm. With little in the way of media coverage for belly dance, this book is a highly valuable resource. One can gain great knowledge from another dancer's experiences, and that is one of the many great tools offered here. With this in mind, anything written by Najia Marlyz is a delight, and in this reader she has two fabulous articles. "Welcome to Belly Dance!", by Marlyz opens the discussion of belly dance and provides a compelling overview of the subject. Her approach is serious yet comedic, and this I find refreshing. Her article "Are the Stars Out Tonight" is a no no nonsense discussion of music for your "gig", as well as your expectations as a dancer, (will you be paid to dance in the background, or are you a star performer?) and how to achieve your goals.
The article "The Teacher-Student Relationship, A Psychological Point of View", helps us recognize good and bad teacher-student relationships and discusses the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which to sum it up, teaches "just a little bit beyond what the student can already do" so that they may one day be autonomous in their dance careers. As a dancer who's taken classes from many teachers, it is true that finding the best fit will ensure growth in your dance. You want to be praised for your abilities, but also pushed to to better, or you will not feel excited about what you are learning. Conversely, having to be a clone of your teacher only ends in disharmoney. Another poignant article entitled "It Ain't Easy Being the Crone" will strike a chord with many. It discusses one woman journey as a praised dancer to one who has been forgotten. I think that the desire to be a beloved dancer is a dream of many, whether you are professional or not and it was touching to read about this personal experience. In addition to figuring the accuracy, reliability, and validity of source material,"Reading Like a Researcher" discusses how dancers passionate about their art can go beyond dance training and learn"about the cultures, history and evolution of their art...". An article by Brigid Kelly discusses "Latent Orientalism" a phrase coined by Palestinian critic Edward Said in 1978, that reveals how the West's historical "othering" of Arab cultures "...can be used to feed the racism at the discourse's heart". This is an eye-opening article that must be read! The fabulous article by Princess Farhana offers a valuable discussion of vintage costumes and their care. Many more articles worth reading are to be found within this well-organized three-hundred page reader that will indulge, inspire and educate you about the art and culture of belly dance in America and beyond.
