Oh yes it was. Precious travelled all over the world with Shadiah. He went just about everywhere with her.

Here's another drum solo clip without the bird. I have some more footage of Precious. I'll pop in a VHS tape while I clean the house and see what I can find.

Shem, I saw your playlist. There was one there that I felt deserved a special posting. I could kick myself for not remembering this one!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX7-9iu12hg]YouTube - Mona Said Drum Solo[/ame]

I totally forgot I had the video. I had to cut out the first half of drum solo as the dancer has a wardrobe malfunction right when the camera zoomed in on her. I haven't figured out how to edit things out yet so this clip starts near the end of drum solo and goes into zar. Just amazing.

Yeah, I thought somebody would post this one. It is awesome!

norma, you share some of the coolest clips!

Thanks Shem! There are a lot of great unknowns out there. Belly dancing did exist before the BDSS!

From Rakassah this last year...Ava Fleming with Djinn.

Norma, please don't forget the 's' at the end of my name, you're making me feel a little truncated. <3

Oops Sorry. Blame it on my typing I'm always thinking faster than I type and frequently drop the last letter of a word. Shem doesn't even sound right.

This clip was on the very first BD video I saw from overseas. It really made an impression on me.

I totally second this clip, but also because of the amazing live atmosphere.

If you've never seen Rachel George (or Frank Lazzaro), enjoy!
