Belly Dance in New Zealand with Candice Frankland

Our friend Yasmin in Melbourne asked us if we would write up an article about what it's like to run a belly dance business in Auckland, and here it is! It's part of her series on belly dance around the world, asking dancers who perform regularly in various parts of the globe to share their experiences. So far she has articles from Sharm el Sheik, Melbourne, India, Cairo, the UK, and San Jose - it's an excellent series, and we highly recommend it.
