Name -your-price costume source on Ebay

One more way to spend your Economic Stimulus $$'s...

Go onto Ebay, and type in miraclemims

This Ebay seller is doing a clearance of all her bellydance costume pieces. Though not all of them are high performance quality, many of the pieces can be used within other costume ideas, OR they can be used for practice sessions so you can see how your movements "show up" in an accentuated costume. If you are into dance performance, this is absolutely essential for you to see how movement will actually look with a costume on. If you don't think this is important, take a look at documentaries on the making of shows like Cirque du Soleil.


Many of you have asked, "Where do you get __________?" Here is a list of the places I haunt for reasonably priced new and used items for dance:

Centerstage (51st and University Way in the U District). Dance shoes, exercise clothes, and some bellydance items are available; also a great source for zills (finger cymbals).
Bhuz.com (place a free "ad" with your measurements, and people will start sending you pictures of costumes offline)
Experience shoes: great shoes and some flashy costume ideas for salsa, tango, and general ballroom, some of which works well for bellydance. Located on Alaskan Way near Pike Place Market (look for the big Doc Marten's sign)

Coming soon: Mediterranean Fantasy Festival July 18-20. Vendors bring their wares, you bring your wallet! I've bought some of my best hip scarves and veils from these festivals.
