  This album was a collaborative project between Belladonna of Bohemian Belly Dance and Servitor Sanctum 7.
  
  
  For years I wanted a musical companion that met the needs of a dancer, for drilling, rhythm identification and choreography. After a very long conversation with Servitor about the psychology and calling we have for the art that we make, I knew he was the person I wanted to work with on this project.
  It was my pleasure to work with such a talented individual and it is our wish that you find this music danceable, educational and inspiring!
  I hope you love it as much as I do!

  Most of the rhythms here will be immediately recognizable to belly dancers but keep in mind this disclaimer; because of the unorthodox nature of the overall composition, these Saidis may not be quite the same as the Saidi you know, as is the case with all of these traditional rhythms. Anything not in a common 4/4 time signature has been noted as well as the rhythm of origin if it is traditional.
  
  That being said, these songs are all designed for continuity so if you're a belly dancer that needs to drill, these songs will remain at the same tempo and the same rhythm for the duration of the song. If any listener is looking for atmosphere, lots of drums, diversity, or something to jam out and perform to, there's lots of that in there too.
  
  It's been an awesome journey taking myself out of my usual creative mindset and trying to understand what makes women/ belly dancers want to dance and how to put it into a song. I approached all of these songs with that in mind, and think I achieved that to some degree. In spite of that I think a lot of men will want to dance to this too belly dancer or otherwise.
