[habibiyaeini]

Wow, really great!!!

[Shirin.]

Saida is my next favorite dancer, right behind Jillina of course.

[TanyaLV]

Saida.....is my absolute favorite right now! Beautiful and talented..

[ChristinaRizkallah]

She looks great-you wouldn't know it, but Sharon is her 21 year old daughter! (she is featured on her site and Saida has her on the links page).

Now if you can arrange for Nour and Khaled to be in the show, I fancy a trip to Moscow. ..g.:

[nuringa]

oh yes there will be Nour :) Yasser and Oussama Emam (brother of Lubna Emam :)
so it'll be a great workshop series and great show and also the competition with the 1-st place prize - a trip and prepaid workshops in Nile Group Festival November 2007!!! :)

so all are wellcome indeed!

What!! how old is she??

[nuringa]

you know it hardly can be true - cause i've seen her passport data (when making tickets for her flight to Moscow) and her date of birth makes it hardly possible indeed ;) quite impossible i would say :) i'll not reveal the dates cause maybe Saida wouldn't want that but she's young.

[Sashy]

There is a bhuzzer here,Eugeniaargentina,that is a student of Saida.I have not seen her around since this new Bhuz version,but i hope she eventually chimes in.She usually had a lot of info on Saida.
Toria,on the Bellydance Superstars Live in Montecarlo there are two gorgeous Saida performances,one of them a lively cane dance.

[toria_dances]

Yes I have it, I love the cane dance

its possible! if she had her baby when she was really young!! im guessing saida is in her mid to late 30s

[jessedan]

Hi Shay, It's suprising to me to hear that she has a daughter that old, because when Alesssandra was in Argentina last September and hung around quite a bit with Saida, she told me that Saida and her husband have NO children.
She also told me how old Saida was, but I can't remember. I know it's early 30's.

[shaynaz]

Yeah, i was surprised to to hear she had a daughter.....looking at those photos of her from the website they look so much alike!

[eugeniaargentina]

SHE DOESNT HAVE A DAUGHTER. She is only 34.

[Mirabai]

Can't believe I've been missing out on this thread! I am sooooo in love with Saida! Anybody know when she's coming to the states (USA states)? How often she comes? Where? Who brings her?

Or, when where and how often she goes to Mexico?

Love all the new YouTube postings... think my favorite dance of hers is still Alf Layla Wa Layla. But, love them ALL.

What made you think Saida had a 21 yeard old daughter??

[eugeniaargentina]

She doesnt have kids at all.

She has over 600 students LOL do we count as kids?

And if the person I am thinking about, is not "Sharon" is Shanan. She is the best dancer that came from Saida's school up to now. She is 21, she's been studying with Saida since she was 12, so she is quite similar in movements, style. But they dont look in body type or face alike.

How would you all describe Saida's style? Where would you say it falls in Egyptian, Turkish, etc...?

[Shirin.]

ohhhh, I love Saida. Just as much as I love Jillina, both are definitly at the top of their game.

[eugeniaargentina]

How would you all describe Saida's style? Where would you say it falls in Egyptian, Turkish, etc...?

I think she is just Saida, 3 years ago I asked her the same "what type of style do we study? egyptian? lebanese?"

and she told me "is a bit of them all, plus Saida style...the result : is somethine less traditional, something that many dont like and others do like".

[Mirabai]

That's would I would say if I had to answer my own question!
And this is why she's so incredible to watch. I can see the bits of Egyptian and bits of other traditions and then there's her overall presentation and it's so unique and stunning.

Isn't Amir Thaleb in Argentina as well?

I'm tempted to move down there and study w/them both if they're at all close!!!

[eugeniaargentina]

yes Amir is argentina aswell, both school are 15 blocks from each other LOL

[shaynaz]

does anyone else have 600 students???

[eugeniaargentina]

she must have a bit more, maybe between 600 and 700, then amir has around 900. Maiada must have around 250.

the 3 of them went and are going to Corea this year, isnt that amazing?? I mean, for an argentine, going to Corea!!

[jessedan]

I also heard that there's a LONG waiting list in Buenos Aires to get into Saida's school because classes are so full.
