    Yay! Perfect timing too... I've been sick, so very happy to have something fun to watch!

    I like that you have something to watch, not that you are sick.

    At least when I first starting seeing Norma dance she went by the stage name "Naima" and, final "h" or not, there are some of us for whom Norma will always be *the* Naima.

    Thanks Alex, but just for everyone's clarification, even though I did initially start dancing with the name Naima, I am not the Naima in this video.

    Samira, it is actually mylar fringe. Like tinsel. The sell it in costume shops as hula skirts! It was briefly in fashion to wear it with belly dance costumes to add some cheap and easy bling back in the days when we had to handmake our own fringe!

    Wish I did have some popcorn at the moment, though better still wish I'd been there!

    I haven't watched it all but wanted to comment, it must have been so fabulous to dance with a live band, definitely makes for a better atmosphere.

    I have to say, I love a lot of the vintage clips of US dancers and I prefer the dance style much more to the modern dancers who probably have better technique and can do amazing complex choreography, but none of them ever seem to have that relaxed, go with the flow quality of the old dancers. I miss the spontaneity, the not so perfect execution or experiment while dancing, just that what are they going to do next feeling that dancing to live music brings, especially when you have dancers that are good at improvising.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear, Norma. The dancer in the clip, while a fine dancer, is not you.

    Norma has posted a number of clips of herself both on Bhuz and Youtube and anyone who hasn't seen them should do so.
