Zaghareet!
Is an American publication with a Middle Eastern focus. It is not only a belly dancer publication, but one about businesses, events, musicians, food, lifestyles, troupes, books, videos and more. Most of all we would like this to be about people. Many magazines center on stars of belly dance, but we believe that without the support and determination of people like you and me, there could never be any stars. We welcome your articles, letters, questions, and comments about all subjects related to dance and Middle Eastern culture.
