I am taking belly dancing classes, and several people that I dance with have told me about male belly dancers. I haven't been able to find any video clips. Any suggestions?

Looking for a belly dancing studio in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Martinez area, any opinion?
Suhaila is very good and is well respected. If her studio location and class times don't work for you, check some other possibilities. You might want to start by checking with a gym or recreation center in your area. Sometimes they have dance classes, and those teachers may also do private lessons.
You can look on Shira's website.

You can e-mail or call some of the dance instructors to find out what ages they teach in their classes, more about their background, their style of instruction, what they expect from students, and fees they charge for classes. If you don't find a
teacher listed for your area, you might want to contact one from the websites and find out if they may know of an instructor who may live closer to you. You might want to see if you can contact other students of theirs to get their opinions of the classes. A good teacher should encourage this.
I hope you find a teacher that you like. If one teacher's style doesn't suit your learning style, try another. I've known some dancers to take awhile finding a setting that worked for them.
Good luck!!

What the title says…
I'd like to take some kind of dance class that can get my body in shape by strengthening my tummy and back muscles and increasing overall flexibility is belly dancing a good option and does anyone have any other suggestions?
It depends where you're starting from. If you've never danced before, then belly dancing is a great way to get started. If you have a good teacher who knows good technique, then you'll find it excellent for your tummy and back muscles, and for flexibility in your upper body. It won't do anything for flexibility of the legs, though, unless you do Tribal Belly Dance which incorporates yoga in its warm-ups.
If you have some dance or gymnastic experience, you'll get results faster with ballet or jazz ballet or contemporary - but they're hard to take up as an adult if you've never done dancing before.

Find Out About Belly Dancing Bra Belt Sets
Author: admin
Want to know everything about Belly Dancing Bra Belt Sets, and every other possible topic about this wonderful past time? This article will review a common and very important topic regarding belly dancing.
Belly dancing bra belt sets are an essential item for any experienced or even amateur belly dancer. This belt you could say, is like the foundation of this type of dancing. We all know that belly dancing is focused on flowing movement of the hips and stomach region and this being said, it is important for a serious belly dancer to use a good belt that is matching and also accentuates the torso area.
Many shops stock amazing quality belt sets, all you have to do is figure out what style you are, and what color would suit you best, and then go ahead and get it! Usually brighter colors are better, because they seem to be more hypnotic and particularly exotic. Usually different colors help to bring out the skills and appearance of certain dancer types. For example a woman with dark olive skin might get a couple of belly dancing bra belt sets, most of them being light colors, like pale blue and pink, to bring out her exotic dark skin, whereas the belt that a woman with very pale skin would most likely be the total opposite, probably dark red and dark blue, these colors can even be mixed to create an amazingly different look.
What type of belly dancing bra belt sets are right for me?
Well, anything that you feel comfortable performing in honestly. If your favorite color is pink, then you should get pink, if you like tassels and sparkly jewels then get something with them on, do whatever makes you happy, because you will have a better mindset when your dancing and if you feel comfortable then you are sure to perform much better, it is a fact of life and is evident in everything we do. When doing an activity like belly dancing, remember that it’s something you do for your own enjoyment, so make sure you keep it fun!
If you decide to take it seriously, there are many clubs that can cater for that purpose as well. In fact there are competitions that you can enter into that award prizes for the winners. But if you’re like me and you just do it for the fun, then try and keep it fun and you will quickly improve your skills.
