Belly Dancing Hip Scarves that Shimmy and Sparkle

Adorn a Costume or Practice Outfit with an Affordable Hip Scarf

I've been in awe of belly dancers as long as I can envision. It wasn't until a college roommate shared her belly dance exercise video for fitness that I even attempted to mimic their moves. Now I take classes for fun. I was nervous to dance around other graceful souls at first, but as soon as I tied on a borrowed hip scarf from the teacher, I felt like I belonged. It's amazing how such an affordable and sparkly embellishment can boost your confidence.

Chiffon Hip Scarves with Gold Coins

Chiffon hip scarves come in every color of the rainbow! Gold coins dangle from the fabric and clang beautifully together as the belly dancer shimmies and shakes her hips.

Sequined Hip Scarves

I feel like a mermaid when I wear my hip scarf in this fun style! The paillettes mimic fish scales, especially in the blue and green hip scarves. The sound of the sequins brushing together takes a bit of getting used to if you usually wear the more traditional scarves - but shining as you shimmy is worth it.

I've bought three pairs of these pants from the Anne Lucky Belly Dance Store on eBay and plan to buy the rest after I save up some more money. They look amazing underneath my hip scarves.
