Which dancer would you love to see live?

[KDizzle]

I thought this might be a fun topic. If money nor time was no object who in history would you love to see live? Who would you have loved to take a class from. It could be a legend that is still around or who has passed on. ,r:;

[Fotia]

Oh where do I start! I haven't seen Saara Saeeda yet and I would love to take a workshop with her. But if I could pick anybody it would be Fifi Abdo, Samia Gamal, Sohair Zaki, Aziz, Jim Boz - now I know how many I haven't taken from yet and I feel so deprived! <LOL>

[Candi]

Samia Gamal and Naima Akef-definately
I would have said I would have liked a workshop with Fifi Abdo but I'm actually going to have one at the BD congress in September. I saw her dance live back in cairio in 1999 she was great

[badriya_al_ahmar]

Tahiya Carioca, no question! Followed by Aza Sharif.

[mlacombe]

Mona Said!!

[ssipes]

Samia Gamal, Nadia Gamal, Souhair in some of her last performances, Mona.

[Azhia]

The late and great Ibrahim Farrah, Mahaila el Helwa.

[nisaasaintlouis]

Taheya Carioca, hands down!!!!!!!!!

[ssipes]

Clarifying part of my previous answer:

Samia Gamal dancing her own show, not a movie scene. There are a bunch of photos floating around from performances she did in Dallas TX in 1952. I have always wondered if there is video footage of this lurking somewhere:

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

[akashablue]

I'd love to see Fifi Abdo and Dandash live. I'd also love to see Nourhan Sharif perform any day, any time. I'd take lessons from all of them.

I'd also love, love, love to take lessons from Raqia Hassan!!! That woman just amazes me!!!

Haha when I read the title of your thread - Which dancer would you love to see live - I thought "blimey - someone's gonna shoot us all and only one of us can live - so which one?"

So that's what tiredness does to me ...

[Freddie]

But to answer seriously, it would be Tulay Karaca.

Absolutely gorgeous! I also love Naima and Taheyya. From "our era" Fifi and Dandash are my faves.

[zorba]

Nadia Gamal. Someday I'll study with her... (!)

[zorba]

WOW! Her stage presence speaks to me over the decades and through that picture!

[Lauren_]

[ANISAHDANCER]

Orit!
At this moment for some reason I am just fascinated with her.
I wish she was doing a workshop here!!

[elljay]

Souhair Zaki. No contest.

Ditto, hands down.

And I'd love to study with Badia Masabni.

Samia Gamal, Mona Said and Dina, both in performance and for a lesson. The big three for me!

[Zumarrad]

Tahia Carioca! I'd also love to have had a chance to take a class with Bert Balladine.
