As a professional dancer, I never did quite get into all of the tabla's and Egyptian music, and Persian left something to be desired for me. Hindu pop was too jarring, and Pentaphobe (done for Rachel Brice) is great but not really suited for all styles.

And then I found this album. I strongly recommend Soul Talk, Voice from the Moon, and Om Om. It's a little bit techno, a little bit Egyptian, a little bit funk, a little bit traditional, and it lends itself to some amazingly creative and well-done dance.

I love this CD. It's great for dance meditation, alternative tribal bellydance, listening. Also great for use with practicing slow arms, hands, & hip moves. The melodies are great, supported by rhythm from the Bellydance Superstar's drummer. It is not at all traditional bellydance, so don't get it if that's what you're seeking. It is a wonderfully relaxing CD. New age bellydancing is probably the best description.

I first heard this CD tonight at a hafla (bellydance party) and it was terrific! Usually there will only be one or two good pieces on a bellydance CD, but every track on this one made me want to get up and move so I'm ordering it tonight. If you enjoy bellydance music with an upbeat, peppy rhythm, you cannot go wrong with this CD.

This is a wonderful CD for listening as well as dancing. If you are into Tribal Fusion Belly Dance you will love this CD. Every single cut is a winner. I use it for my classes and my students love it. I highly recommend this CD for Belly Dance students and teachers.

Seldom do I buy a CD I can play from start to finish in my classes. Usually I burn my own mixes. This offers many refreshingly different sounds--some funky and fun, some slow and peaceful. The tempos are mostly steady (good for teaching beginner and intermediate classes) and there's a modern edge to this music without being electronic or trancey. I'm currently performing to 2 of the pieces here, solo and with tribal fusion troupe because the pieces have so much color! This is a good one!

I have just started bellydancing and I have found very few Middle Eastern songs that I can really love. You have to love the music to dance with your heart and soul. And, it is very difficult to dance to complicated Middle Eastern rythms until you take lessons in drumming. This music sounds exotic and yet the beats are easy to move to. I love this album so much I keep searching Amazon for anything that sounds similar...

I bought this at the recommendation of my bellydance instructor. I was not disappointed. It's a great mix of slow, fast, instrumental and vocal accompanied arabic music. Not very traditional, but suited my practice purposes perfectly.

This Cd rocks, some of the neatest and drivin rhythms out there super to dance to and also to just enjoy, Right on really greatAAAA++++

This cd is awesome!! I highly recommend it to anyone. Not only do I belly dance to this cd, I also just listen to it when I'm not dancing.

I really enjoyed this music. It's fun, upbeat, and very unusual for belly dance. But it works very well... out of all my belly dance cds (and I have a few) this is my absolute favourite!
