Shamadan - Good Footage - what do you recommend
I'm looking for some really great shamadan footage for inspirations. Youtube clips or regular videos and dvds. Who rocks this prop like no other?
I have Morocco's footage of Nadia Hamdi and I think I also have footage of Morocco doing shamadan, I might have the IAMED with Sahra doing shamadan, but I'm not sure...I'll have to check. Does anybody know which video it is on?
What are your top picks?

For more Nadia Hamdi, look for "Nadia In America" sold by Amina Goodyear (director of the Aswan Dancers) out of San Francisco.

I don't have a top pic on video, and I've had trouble finding youtube clips I really liked -- but I was looking specifically for Zeffas in a wedding setting.
Here's a clip I just came across that's more 'propsy' and less folkloric -- but durned impressive and entertaining! But halfway through I found myself wishing she'd just take that thing off and dance, there didn't seem to be any reason for it being there!

Re: Shamadan - Good Footage - what do you recommend
I didn't care for it much -she's a lovely dancer-though i wasn't that fond of the pharonic arms but I'm definately a fan of the Egyptian Nadia Hamdi school of Raks shamadan. i like the usual music,sagat-happy happy stuff. I don't like to see a shamadan just stuck on somebodies head for no reason while they are dancing. Its funny how on some people it can just be a ridiculous hat and on others its a spectacle (in a good way). I think less is more when you dancing with shamadan.
