Thread: Bellydance in Phoenix AZ?

I will be in Phoenix this Thurs through Mon Sept. 10. Can anyone recommend a place to go see some good bellydancing? Or perhaps a place to take a class?

Any recommendations on bead or costume shopping would be great too!

Shimmies,

Audra

Off the top of my head you could check out Naj's shop http://www.bellydanceshoppe.com/

I believe Effes (may be spelled wrong) has dancers Friday and Saturday night. I can vouch that they have great food. There are several other resturants in the Phoenix area that have dancers, but I don't know the names off the top of my head. You may want to check Gilded Serpent, I believe they have a listing of resturaunts with dancers.
