Hi folks - I have been working on this diligently for quite a while now and have the first set of findings tables ready for everyone. I am still coding and cross analyzing the qualitative data, so it will be a bit longer before that it complete. Once it is all finished, I will be writing up both an academic article and a dance article based on the findings.

So...without anything further - for those of you who are interested in tables of numbers about belly dancers...here is the Summary of Initial Findings from the 2007 Belly Dancer Demographic Survey:

If you have any questions or comments, just let me know. I will be posting this a few places and will announce again when the full data is available.

Thanks!
