If you are a bellydance student, this is your study hall. My name is Lauren, I'm a professional bellydancer and own a bellydance studio in the St. Louis area. This site is for all students of the dance, including my own. Ahlan wa Sahlan (Welcome!)

Want someone to show you the difference between Egptian, Turkish, Lebanese, Tribal, etc.? I'm adding articles constantly, with lots of youtube clips to help you sort it all out.

Nothing can take the place of a live teacher, but occasionally someone else's words will make things click for you. This area is still under heavy construction.

My take on various DVDs, CDs, footwear for class, and more.

Send a virtual bellygram to a dance friend or client.

The costuming and clip art pages will be coming in 2010. Links are available now.
