Caveat Emptor
Buyer Beware!
Inclusion in this list does not indicate a personal endorsement by Davina unless specifically indicated. There are many vendors, dancers and resource sites around the web. The goal of this links list is to provide dance costumers with an organized and easy to use starting point for their web exploration.
We are happy to add any site that meets our loose criterion.
- The website is of relevance to the art of Middle Eastern Belly Dance.
- The site provides information or products for costume design and construction.
If you have a website that matches these goals,
please e-mail Davina at davina@davina.us
While we attempt to keep all links up-to-date with a quarterly check, some of these websites may occasional go down or change hands and change direction.
