I know a few senior Aussie instructors organise overseas bellydance trips. Mostly to the Middle East, and at least one (Terezka's) to Bali. Other dancers travel alone or with their troupe members to further their knowledge. I'm not sure if there are currently any "package" bellydance trips to the US.

Is there anyone out there who can share their experiences of overseas bellydance trips? How did it enrich your experience as an Australian dancer, would you reccomend overseas training to everyone? Were there any major hurdles or surprises you encountered? Can we get the same standard of tuition here at home? What about travel to India/Europe/Africa/South America? How do other forms of 'folk' dance enrich your bellydance experience?

Please share your thoughts.



By the way..... WHEEEE! MihriMah are the main pic! I feel all famous n'that! *blush*.
