BELLY on the BIG screen was a thrill. But even more was to hear
the audience immediately after the film start asking about how
to get involved with belly dance. I overheard comments like,
"Maybe I will look into starting belly dance lessons tomorrow."
I think that's a testament to the film's power and influence.
BELLY captured the spirit of the belly dance community.”-Eric

thought the film was beautifully done. I really liked how you
wove in the different issues of being a dancer: family,

the film was an astounding masterpiece that honored the dancers
and their families. You really made us all look Hot!”-Katisha,
