A slight disadvantage to this belly dance thing is that I don't seem to enjoy much Egyptian music. I wish I knew where my Monday teacher gets her music from because I generally love her selection but I can't seem to find stuff I like by looking for it on my own. And I'm sure she has spent years building up her catalogue.
Perhaps that's the answer - spend years combing through music I don't really like much and by the time I've built up a library of my own I'll probably have learned to appreciate it better anyway.
