Here is a listing of the sources I use to write my articles. Perhaps you would like to investigate these books on your own. Topics include information about Egypt, ancient Egypt, Hieroglyphs, the Arabic Language, Belly Dance in general, Belly Dance books in Spanish and German, a dancer's workout, Running a dance studio, Ballet basics that can improve Belly Dance technique, Morocco, Stage Lighting and Sound, as well as some novels which you might enjoy if you are into reading fiction with an Egyptian twist. I hope you find these sources as interesting and inspiring as I have.
If you know of any books that you think should be added to this list (fiction or non-fiction), please send me an Email with the name, author, year and ISBN number.
