    Nelly Fouad

    She doesn't get a lot of buzz, but an excellent dancer:

    Re: Nelly Fouad

    She was one of my favorite dancers. Her style was more beladi, Mohammed Ali Street and she zipped around the stage like Speedy Gonzales but her shimmies (wide legged) were wonderful, along with her variety of movement. And she was a nice person - no diva in her. I wish more people knew about her and studied what she did.

    Great footage. Thank you for posting.

    Re: Nelly Fouad

    Is she the same dancer just known as "Nelly" on the old Saut Wa Soora videos?

    By the way, in this clip she is dancing to Tamrhenna but it looks like it was edited on. Farid Al Atrache is in the clip. Any idea what song she was really dancing too?

    In my experience with these 1970s movies (I think Farid died in 1975) - the sound was edited in later. She could really have been dancing to the sound but the synchronization of the sound track from 35 millimeter to video could have been off - or (more likely) the upload to YouTube and the compression could be off...
    Just a thought ...

    That's a thought. I was thinking it wouldn't be Tamrhenna because that song was already made famous in another movie. I didn't think they would use the same song twice. I'll ask Shira. She's watched a lot of these old movies.

    On the 70's forum we've figured out that this song is also the first track on Setrak's Vol. 14 as Al Moukkaddama. In addition to being Raks Nelly on Cairo by Night, Vol. 1.

    Re: Nelly Fouad

    oh wow! never saw that clip before, but I love that music & it's funny how we almost do the same thing onstage during the overture & intro - I was just watching my clip the other day and laughing about being onstage during that part of the music
    I never did really like her style but I looove the Srours's music -
    thanks for posting!

    In preparation for Leila Farid's next camp in Dahab one of the instructors, Tatiana from Ukraine, posted this RECENT clip of Nelly dancing. She will be teaching, along with Dandesh, at the camp.

    Alia Thabit will be taking a group over - for anyone who doesn't want to travel alone. I want to go, too, but it's the week before the IBCC in Toronto. I will have to choose one over the other.
