Which dancer would you love to see live?

[nasila]

Taheya live and undubbed, or Fifi and her entire orchestra? Hmmm.

[Vasha_Hatal]

ooooh, add Fifi to my list!

[ceydahazine]

Nesrin Topkapi, Tulay Karaca and Birgul Beray.

[bellydancewear]

Naima Akef!

[khalida777]

Nelly Mazloum.


Khalida

[weese17]

Lucy, back in her heyday (I saw her in 2005, but it's not the same).

Fifi, back in her heyday (again, saw her in 2008, but not the same).

Nagwa Fuad. That woman oozes charisma and sex appeal even over video - I'd love to see what she was like live!

[dunyah]

Souhair Zaki. No contest.

I second that!

[ejaghana]

Oh! So many! I'd love to see Samia Gamal, Naima Akef, Souheir Zaki.

I'd also love to see Orit, Randa, and Dina. Hopefully this part will come true very soon.

And o fcourse Fifi!

[shems]

Assuming I get to see a full show and not just a small segment on a movie set or TV show, these are the dancers I would have loved to see live in their hey-day:

This first list I will never get a chance to:
Samia Gamal
Nadia Gamal
Naima Akef
Naemet Mokhtar
Badia Masabni
Suha Deeb's Grandmother
Mona Said

Dancers I've seen live, but would love to see again (the rare list)
Dina
Randa Kamel
Aziz (of Utah)
Reyhan Tuzsuz (Roman)
Stephanie (of Utah)
Johanna (of Utah)
My former troupe Shazadi (of Utah)
Dalia Carella
Aszmara

Dancers who I may still get a chance to see live:
Reyhan (of Oryantal Star fame - Roman)
Suha Deeb
Tito
Didem
Troupe Hathor (of Utah)
Jillina's Evolution Show
My own dance troupe Barakaat (we haven't had our first performance yet!)

[Aradia]

Great thread! Okay, Sohair Zaki, Tahia, Fifi, Nadia Gamal, Amani, Tulay Karaca

[Gestia]

Well, if you ask me... Many of those who have already been mentioned here...

And

YANA and her Oriental dance
Ensemble!!!!!!!

[naiyahayal]

Soheir Zaki & Samia Gamal. Fifi, Tahia, and others as well, but Soheir & Samia first!!
Oh -- and Aza Sharif (spelling?)

[JoLynn]

#1 for sure Taheya Carioca, Lucy way back when she had long black hair, Tulay Karaca and Ozel Turkbas. And private lessons from all of them.

[Nouria]

TITO!!!!!!

[FastMelodic]

donna mejia, moria chappel, mardi love, zoe jakes, sharon kihara, aziza nawal, bozenka, rachel brice, dusty... i can't pick just one!!

[ChristinaRizkallah]

I enjoyed watching Dina, Randa Kamal, Tito and Fifi Abdou live and would love to see them perform again!!!

[SamiraShuruk]

Bobby Farrah, he trained so many of my teachers I would just love to see what each of them took from him

His first teacher still teaches in this area, I believe. She was quite a force of nature- check out her gallery.
Andriana of DC Premier Belly Dance Insructor for the DC Maryland and Virginia offering all levels of belly dance training in Belly Dancing

[Fahimi]

Because I love her style, and how SLOOOOOW she dances (power in the sloth theory) - Rachel Brice. And I not only get to see her tomorrow night, I am taking a choreography workshop with her tomorrow morning!!

I'd also love to see Ultra Gypsy - I watched a few videos online and love how funky they can be.

Azhia has great presence from what I have seen on video and I'd love to see how that translates live. Oh, and she is also terribly talented!!

[Aziza_UAE]

Hala al Safy, Azza Sherif and Fifi, oh and not forgetting Heyatim, darn there are so many.

[norma]

Fifi! I had the chance to see her live last year and I'm still kicking myself for not going.

Then Suheir Zaki -because she's a legend!

I've seen Dina but wouldn't mind seeing her again.

[zamora]

janaeni rathor
feruiz aram

[Eshtata]

Of course, I would like to see live dance of all old times stars, but it is hardly possible. If we choose among modern dancers, I never get tired of watching how Leila of Cairo is dancing))

[Livucis]

Definitely Tito:)
I have not seen many belly dance stars in live,but i have some:)
but i m just sure that nobody can compare to Tito,he is unbelievable and amazing dancer,person and teacher....I m looking where is he giving workshops in Europe in 2011 what is quited difficult because he has no any website or information page about worksops.
Every belly dancer must see Tito in live:)

[jesennia]

Lulu Sabongi..I just know it would be amazing to make eye contact

[aliza]

I love watching Shakira in you tube doing the belly dancing, she's great!

[Mur At]

Of course Sadie :), and i would like to watch Nesrin Topkapi's old performances...
