Jareeda is a magazine about belly dance that is published every two months. The magazine runs $31 for a years subscription and you can subscribe at http://jareeda.com/index.htm This is the first belly dance related magazine that I started receiving and I have enjoyed every issue I've read.
Jareeda is published on 8 point glossy paper (this is typical magazine paper if you aren't familiar with paper varieties) and includes color photos interspersed throughout the publication. The magazine is published by Mezdulene out of Oregon and is typically around 30 pages long.
Jareeda includes a calendar of events, a teacher directory as well as articles. There are several regular columns including Halima's Hints which usually includes advice of some sort (costuming or behavior or some other topic), Karavan Klips which reviews various shows and workshops and Troupe Talk which deals with issues and challenges troupes might run into among other things. They welcome contributions of both articles and photographs from their readership.
My only real complaint with Jareeda is they aren't very regular about getting the magazine out. At this point in time (almost the end of December) the last issue I received was the July/August issue, so I'm missing September/October and November/December (which is my favorite issue of the year - contains a bunch of reviews). I've written them and am hoping I will be receiving my issues soon.
