Your one-stop shop for all things Raqs Sharqi & Bellydance
Our friend and raqs archivist just released her experience watching Suhaila Salimpour’s Level 2 course. She loved it! Enjoy her take on the show!
I was grateful that I was allowed to sit in on one of the courses and the show during the Suhaila Level 2 weekend hosted by Atlanta Fusion Bellydance last weekend. On Friday, I was able to catch the first class. It was clear that these loyal students had been working out all day, dancing […]
We are pleased to announce that ShimmyMob will be one of our partnerships in 2019. We’ll be meeting with their team and discussing how we can help bring awareness to all that the group stands for. Gathering together with friends and dancing around for a great cause is one of our specialties. We’ve been involved in a number of community activities that bring to the forefront a variety of issues that not just our dancers have experienced but also those of their famiily and friends.
MissBellydance.com will commit to assisting with prizes, giveaways and so much more as we lead up to the ShimmyMob events this year. We will participate in two and both are hosted and run by Valencia and Saniyah, two dynamic dancers that have supported Atlanta’s International Community and those all around the United States. In addition, they help raise funds and awareness to numerous groups in need. We are so happy to join them in this effort. Please continue to check our blog and social media for more updates.
Let’s give our heart and support to great causes all year long!
We’re absolutely excited about 2019! We’re partnering with a number of dance shows and festivals to bring you the first glimpse of our couture and bellydance costuming line. For us these items are more than just costumes, these are our clothes. These items help make us who we are and help us showcase the hard work and skill that goes into the art of Raqs Sharqi.
Huge thanks to all who helped us out over the year including Essence of Bellydance, Caravan of Dancers, Simon Markysmoonlight and many others who have gone out of their way to showcase our couture and clothing to dancers around the globe and or been super supportive like Lebanese Simon Sako.
If you’re having an event and you’re looking to partner with vendors and more let s know. Send us a message ATTN: AskMissBellydance Partnership and we’ll get in touch! Happy New Year!
The modern masquerades of today feature a variety of outstanding costumes that are actually quite lovely given that some items of the modern day have little to no style at all. So much of what we see in modern day is either a bad spin-off of something amazing from yesteryear or very plain and animated in a less than flattering pattern. Events like DragonCon feature balls where people take exquisite care for their costumes and masks.
We’re right in this realm with our newest collection of face wear as mentioned a few weeks ago here on AskMissBellydance.com. Our goal is to support the intricate and heavily decorated items that you find at elegant masquerades. We’re taking this to a new level with refined and pristine pieces that will not only turn heads but make you the belle and beau of the ball.

One of the most memorable things about a bellydancer is her skirt. Some may think it’s the bra top but the skirt accentuates the hips and that’s where the action happens. The swirl, the turns, the ornaments and other elements illuminate the garment making it a focal point for just about any raissa on the raqs stage. It’s essential to make sure that skirt is the most eye catching element of your entire wardrobe as a performer.
We’re particularly proud of one of our skirts. It’s the pedal skirt we’re highlighted in our flashsale. It has the eye catching embellishments and layers that make it an obvious garment fit for bellydance. We really love it. You will too!

Our dance hoodie was inspired by one of our members with ties to the Maghreb. She loves the culture and has relatives from West Africa and is first generation herself. When looking for a cover-up to compliment our new designs she suggested going for the traditional yet modern style chebba wear. This birthed the Chebba Thobe or Chebba Hoodie.
It’s comfortable, long and covers the ankles so you can conceal just about anything or any costume. This one is rather sheer yet the fabric is so well put together it keeps you warm in the winter and still allows you to breathe in the summer. This is certainly one of our favorites and quite the head turner at international dance shows and events.
