Yes, she also uses Isis wings in her dancing. She also had an act, not sure if she still does this, in which she came out of a big lotus. She also has another entrance piece in which she has multiple veils wrapped around her and each of her male back up dancers takes a veil and basically "unravels" her. Its very interesting and entertaining. And now Katia the Russian dancer has an an entrance piece in which she comes out on a liter in a Pharaonic style and then takes off her "Phraonic" gown to reveal a belly dance costume. Her male back up dancers come onto stage as liter bearers dressed like ancient Egyptians. Its really kitchy and obviously she is appealing to tourists and foreigners but its entertaining to watch and I wouldn't be surprised if she got her sense of theatrics from Asmahan!

It is pretty wild and super 80s and chock full of kitsch. Based on that one admittedly old show I would not classify her style as 'glamorous' at all. But I would love to see her live and see what she is up to now!
