I know this is probably a long shot, but I'm looking for recommendations of good belly dance instructors in Toronto. Either that, or ideas for where I can look for recommendations/contacts.
I am not familiar with instructors outside my area, so I can't help you there. I would recommend creating a user profile and posting on tribe.net. It's a huge network of people interested in similar things (i.e. bellydance). We've learned about a TON of dance workshop and isntructors in our area through the site.
I also stronly recommend Shira.net! The woman and her site are amazing!
yeah, there are a crazy amount of bellydancers on tribe.net I was never going to join up, 'cause I had myspace, but then everyone kept telling me to join, and they were right.
