    1960's Dancer still shaking it...

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygddSPzjJDA]YouTube - Johanna: 1960's Belly Dance Star[/ame]

    Johanna was a star in NY in the 1960's. She's still got it going on. I hope I have that energy when I'm her age.

    Clip is posted by her daughter Aziza.

    oh awesome! That's so much like my late friend Amira's style - old style cabaret, love it! Thanks so much for posting that - I tried to 'like' it but couldn't.

    I'm sorry to report that Johanna passed away on March 8. She was a true legend and pioneer.

    Her daughter Aziza just put up this blog. The photos are spectacular! Truly a piece of belly dance history.
