Lina is a recent - and welcome! - import to our shores. Originally from Hungary, she's already making her mark on the Australian belly dance scene, as this video shows:
You can catch Lina performing at the El Mustafa restaurant in Glebe, or contact her through the Newtown Middle Eastern Dance Centre where she teaches.
I am learning Belly Dancing and have a great deal of trouble shimming (upper & lower), what tips could you give me to make it easier.
