You Asked Aunt Rocky

Over 50 years of in-culture research and experience…No other book in existence contains such an in depth look at what we popularly call “belly” dance. Country by country, region by region, Morocco breaks down customs, dances, rhythms and folklore while answering common questions and addressing major misconceptions about the world of Oriental dance. “You Asked Aunt Rocky” is the definitive text book for the study of Raqs Sharqi and Raqs Shaabi. Informative enough for any scholarly study of the subject, yet written for those who love the dance, this great tome is a treasure and an asset to any collection on the arts of North Africa, Asia Minor and the Middle East.
