Hello, beautiful dancers out there!

I am happy to announce that my new brand of retro belly dance music is finally available for purchase! Contains Middle Eastern, Indian, East Asian influences with Hip Hop, Techno, Drum n Bass and Reggae beats (and some more traditional as well) If you are looking for new music to spice up your performances, this is stuff guaranteed to make you shake and shimmy =)



This is music for dancer by a dancer. If I didn't find it danceable myself, I didn't put it on my CD =)
Also, you are always welcome to let me know your musical tastes and what you hope to hear in the future... I hope to create music suited for all dancers!

Samples can be heard/individual tracks/CD purchases can be found here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/missroselee, Or click the album cover!

of course you can! let me know if you want bigger file sizes. I wish I could have done more but I was limited from where I was. hopefully I'll join the next class (not the one that just started). I had so much fun. I'd take your photos any time. check out www.flickr.com/photos/artfisch to see my latest.
