Maybe I have not figured my way out through this new site. But I love the new look. I am wondering if we are going to have a forum subdivided by styles? If so, CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A POLL OR GIVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE WOULD LIKE IT SUBDIVIDED BY.
Okay, now for the Egyptian Video. New upload by one of the channels I subscribe to on youtube. But first the very short clip of the 5 year old I previously posted. This is from the golden era of Egyptian Film.

This little girl is so amazing performing Golden Era Silver Screen Egyptian Belly Dance
Gypsy8522 uploaded the entire dance clip from this Egyptian movie, the above clip is at the end. Actually it may be longer, since it stops at 9:59 minutes and supposedly you can not upload more that 10 minutes without a director account.

Anyways, I find it interesting due to several reasons.
1) They were able to show much more skin than they could at present time and probably more skin than in American at that time era. Yes, I know the Egyptian society has taken a big step backwards. But it is interesting to see what they took a big step backwards from.
2) They performed other dance styles, none belly dance related - i.e. Latin, Ballet, and Tap.
3) This little 5 year old (as reported by the poster of this video) was the featured dancer of all of these styles.
Anyways, hope you enjoy and feel free to comment on any of the above mentioned points.
