Sorcerer,

As far as I'm concerned you're welcome to post here.

Here's my YouTube channel. I'm going to make a playlist of my favorite belly dance video clips. I can't think of which one's my favorite to post on here. That's narrowing it down way to much. My mind is spinning!

Sorcerer541:

Although Suhaila is certainly graceful and beautiful in it, this montage does not show the dance as all it can be, because it is overdubbed: it doesn't show her dancing to the original music she was dancing to in all those performances.

This, IMO, is a huge injustice to the dance, because the whole purpose of the dance is to interpret each nuance of the music, not merely sexy moving that happens to co-occur with pretty background music. Or in various other people's words, oriental dance is:

music made visible
visual melodies
the visual poem that overlays the music
the physical and emotional manifestation of the music

etc.

Each movement she does in the montage is a very specific interpretation of a melodic note or percussive beat in the original music she was dancing to, and all that is lost in the overdub.

If you like Suhaila, I would suggest watching videos of her performances that are not overdubbed.

This is my all time favorite. She constantly drops her veil and yet it's still the most spell binding thing I've ever seen.

Love both of the Suheir Zaki clips. Helwa wasta! (She has a sweet waist.)

What is the music in the second clip, it sounds so familiar but I can't quite recall what piece it is. Anyone know?

**spicedjellybeans** · 07-11-2008 10:43 AM

Can anyone identify the music is the Aliya isis wings video? Sounds like Paul Dinletir.

Anaheed is just as nice as she is talented. Always a joy to watch her perform or just chat with her.

okay this id a difficult choice I adore Suhier Zaki and my favourite of hers is this one to Laylet Hob:
[ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AbWs8F2nVjQ]YouTube - Ra'asa Suheir Zaki - Laylet Hob[/ame]

however I love this one by Soad Hosni in Khali Balak Min Zouzou even though she's not really a professional belly dancer.
[ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6BLJJIYY6B8]YouTube - Soad Hosni - Original scene[/ame]

Also Naima Akef's dancing in Tamr Henna and too Aziza but I better stop while I'm ahead
