I also enjoyed chatting briefly with her. Now that I'm living in the Midwest, I hope to see more of her!

She's an awesome dancer and her family is all from Lebanon. She even throws in a little debke once and a while. Here's her website: http://www.margo1.com/ She's a wonderful lady.

She is a second generation belly dancer with an authentic heritage. Contacting her might be helpful. She was very well informed and quite nice.

She's here on tribe, and her web site is meissoun.ch . She's in Switzerland, but I'm sure she'll ship anywhere in the world. The dancer Suha Deeb is in Lebanon, and sometimes posts both here on tribe and also on bhuz.com . In fact, there's a great thread on bhuz that she started called something like "Lebanese belly dance is not a fusion of Turkish and Egyptian".

What the style is (like what moves and props) and what the costume looks like? I cannot find any valid information online about it. Any one know about it, or does anyone know any resources i can go to?
