\"ScreenThe Belly Dance Reader<\/h1>\n

During the better part of 2012, I was working on a fantastic new publication, The Belly Dance Reader.\u00a0 This 280 page book is a collection of articles, artwork, photographs and essays from the leaders of the belly dance.\u00a0 I contributed an article “Practice Makes Perfection,” which I wrote after interviewing two pro makeup artists, Lisa “Firefly” Felten and Adriana Marrelli.\u00a0 Our mission is to inspire dancers to improve their appearance by experimenting and practicing with makeup.<\/p>\n

The goal was to create an informative and inspiring collection of writing from academics, independent scholars and talented pros from around the globe.\u00a0 I was pleased to join the team of editors working on this groundbreaking project.\u00a0 Never before has there been\u00a0 book with such a large and diverse collection writing on belly dance.<\/p>\n

I helped editor Lynette Harris with numerous fine details. From writing captions, to editing text and formatting page layouts, we worked tirelessly to get this publication ready before Dec. 5 so we can relax during the holiday season.\u00a0 Check out some of the content below.<\/p>\n
