Starting from the ground up, internationally acclaimed dancer and author Princess Farhana shares her extensive knowledge on the practical application of belly dancing as a lifestyle. For new dancers just beginning their journey to seasoned performers, there is something in this book for everyone. With information ranging from technique and history to costuming, props and stage make up; from community-building and networking to turning professional, teaching and traveling, you will learn invaluable tips and tricks culled from Her Majesty’s twenty-plus years of performing, teaching, researching and personal experience. Princess Farhana learned these things the hard way…so you won’t have to! "No matter what style of belly dance you do, or if you didn't know there is more than one style, you need this book in your arsenal. Everyone will learn from this world-renowned dance master's experiences. After all, not just anyone earns the title Princess!" -Kajira Djoumahna, author of The Tribal Bible "Princess Farhana entertainingly brings you everything (really everything!) you need to know about navigating the treacherous waters of becoming a professional dancer…or a consummately polished performer. Sew a secret compartment in your dance bag for Princess Farhana’s gem of a book, and take control of your destiny!" -Marta Schill, author of The Compleat Belly Dancer "Princess Farhana brings us all closer to the dancers we would like to somehow become, the dancers we want to grow up to be. She is absolutely glittering, shimmering and pulsating with life – which is what you want in a dancer, a teacher, an artist, a friend, a mentor, and a force of nature." -Margaret Cho, comedian, actor, dancer Review: Finally a book for beginners OR professionals!! - As a beginner belly dance student who is interested in learning anything belly dance, this book is perfect. Very easy to read & understand, and very very thorough. I love the way all of the info is presented with detail. I have only just started reading it and I am not finished yet, but It starts out with tips on getting involved in belly dance, goes through its history, all of the countries of origin, different styles, costumes, and music. I feel it is an extremely well written book for anyone from beginner to professional. I've bought other belly dance books, but none were as comprehensive as this one, and were certainly not for beginners. I love the fact that this book is written for anyone interested in belly dance. Highly recommended. Wish I bought it sooner!! Review: So incredibly useful! - This is the single most useful and informative belly dance book I own. It's chock-full of tips on everything from finding your first teacher to negotiating overseas teaching gigs. There's information on costuming, makeup, stage lighting, props, different styles of dance, and so much more. Although a lot of this information is taken from blog posts on the author's blog, it's definitely worth while to have it all collected in a physical book for ease of reference. This book is useful for dancers of all levels, but especially for those who are looking to go pro and may not have a mentor around to give them all the nitty-gritty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #790,097 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #454 in Dance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 62 Reviews | ## Images ![The Belly Dance Handbook: A Companion For The Serious Dancer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719aPn4AaYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally a book for beginners OR professionals!! *by K***N on March 11, 2019* As a beginner belly dance student who is interested in learning anything belly dance, this book is perfect.
