Thread: Basinah of Madison

Hi everyone,

I've been taking bellydance classes for about three and a half years now, and have been lurking on Bhuz for most of that time. Lately I've started performing on a regular basis (haflas, etc) and getting more ambitious with regards to costuming, and Bhuz has been a great resource for tips, tricks, and general dancer wisdom.

My dance schooling has been pretty solidly Egyptian bellydance (Orientale with a few dashes of folkloric stylings now and again). When I get the chance I enjoy hitting the occasional Bhangra class or folkdance festival to add some diversity to my vocabulary of movement. I'd also like to branch out a little into some tribal fusion in the future, for some additional variety, but I suspect that I'll always return to Egyptian styles in the end.

It's been neat to see that the Madison, WI bellydance community is represented here on Bhuz (both in the form of current residents and expats); raq on, Badgers!

Cheers,
Basinah

Welcome Basinah! I love your name. Have fun here!

Hi Basinah! Will you be attending the hafla on November 12th? My friend and I will be performing a duet. We're from the Milwaukee area. It's always fun to meet Bhuzzers in real life! :)

I will! I'm going to be performing a solo, and a troupe that I lead will be dancing, too. I'm looking forward to it. :)
