Help with belly dancer ideas!!!

[getbent]

I am just starting out in photography, but have the opportunity to photograph a belly dancer for a new website she is developing.

She has asked me to come up with some photo ideas for her, but other than her dancing I haven't been able to think of anything particularly creative.

Any ideas? Anyone shot a belly dancer before?

I don't have a studio, am doing this for free for the practice, so keep that in mind.

Thanks in advance

I shoot belly dancers a ton - they can be fun, and a challenge!

Make sure you get motion - have them spin with the veil (ask them to do barrel roles), use it as a drape over their body. If they dance with swords or canes, those are awesome props.

I have a ton of my shoots up here: http://www.facebook.com/rt2photo?v=photos#!/album.php?aid=135633&id=106747678871
