WHEN IN LONDON
DO AS ANY SELF RESPECTING BELLY DANCERS WOULD DO.
For music and videos check out Edgware Road, most of the Middle Eastern Shops are with in a quarter of a mile of Marble Arch.
I have also picked up some good great music from the World Music Dept. Top Floor of Tower Music, Piccadilly Circus.
The same applies to visitors to BATH check out World Music in DUCK SON & PINKER but please don't make a special trip. and these are just a few places I have found, ask teachers and other dancers for tips on acquiring music. Also ask to hear some of the tracks and try out some Middle Eastern Singers, more often than not there is more good danceable tracks on there albums than on a CD calling its self a Belly Dance album.
