Thread: Favorite clips of dancers performing to Omm Kalsoum pieces!

Please share your favorites!

A few of mine. I will NEVER get over seeing these two performances by Bhuz's own Lucy of DC.


Especially this one, I still forget to breathe while I watch it. Just perfection.


Orit's Fakkarouni is a masterpiece, IMO.


I love Mona's OTT Lessa Fakir


And Dina is incomparable

It has to be......doesn't it?

I find this one is a beautiful interpretation of Huwa Sahih:

And I have to include me, because I'm very proud of this performance with a live band and total improv, no choreo.

Norma, Detroit Belly Dancer, Live At Uncle Sam's Village Cafe, Lessa Fakir - YouTube

I have lots, but here are two I have chosen for this thread..bringing the dance back to the 'centre'.

My all time favourite..

Azza Sherif - YouTube

and a new clip of the fabulous..

Aziza of Cairo - YouTube

Both of these dancers for me keep it simple with great hips and this is what I personally love to watch.
This style is the hardest to achieve because they have to be good at what they are doing.. there is nothing to hide behind.

Amani's wild and amazing interpretation of Daret al Ayam:

ORIT MAFTSIR - tarab - Paris, May 2010 - YouTube
