Thread: Making a list of dance references for general use :)

Some references - academic and non-academic. Some of these may repeat - I am just pulling this together from my various documents to offer it to anyone who might need it. This is not a comprehensive list. I'll add more to this as I go through my files. Please feel free to add yours as well. :)

Thanks! I figured that as long as I was planning on reorganizing my lists and compiling into one...no reason not to pass on the info just in case it could save someone some searching! I'll probably just update this thread as I have time to go through all of my files. :)

I have an Amazon List of works I've found useful in exploring "belly dance", there's a focus on solid, researched works there.
I also have the bibliography from a work I did on "belly dance" in the Medieval Era. I'm re-working it, esp. as I'd disagree with some of my older conclusions, but it's a jumping-off point for some works I rarely see discussed these days. :)

Same here!
