There are many belly dance trade magazines out there, Jareeda is the very first one I subscribed to. Jareeda just celebrated its 30th year in print, so it has been around a while. I stopped subscribing as they were having some publication problems a couple years ago, but re-subscribed in December when they were having a special rate. My first issue arrived early this month and I’m almost through reading it. The articles are written by belly dancers around the world and they cover a lot of topics. Some of the issues are based around a theme, this one is on troupes. I am pleased to say that the articles are longer than I remember and the magazine is back to almost 50 pages like it was when I first subscribed. (At the time I stopped subscribing it was down to around 30.)
Jareeda is printed on light weight magazine stock and while the cover is color as well a few pages front and back, most of it is in black and white. There are a number of ads sprinkled throughout the magazine, all for belly dance related products. The magazine also includes a teacher directory, though it is by no means all inclusive. In addition to the articles submitted by dancers, there are several regular contributors that write on various topics, including food and troupes. I do think it is a good magazine and I’m glad it has returned to what it was when I first started subscribing.
