My review of Dancers by dancer’s vol 2.

The Dancers by Dancers vol 2 is just as good if not better then volume 1. The only difference is that vol 2 is from a LIVE staged performance and there are more dancers. The stage has 5 cyclorama screens with lights changing on them for the background. Most of the time the background matched the dancers costume color. They also used a few gobos that were projected onto the back of the stage! This really brought out the stage! I loved the paisley gobo that was used!!!

Adriana’s performance was fun and enticing! She twirled around with her veil and then appeared these goblets in which she danced on them. 2 goblets for 1 foot and only 1 goblet on the other! They chose a background that really complimented Adriana’s performance and costume. I don’t know what it was but she stood out from the rest. It seems like there was more of a spotlight on her. Or it could be that I prefer blues and purples.

Ahava danced an amazing drum solo! I cannot tell you enough on how much, I love Ahava’s dancing. Her technique, stage presence and style are so Egyptian! She keeps you captivated. You cannot take your eyes off of her! She is wearing a burgundy “Eman Zaki” costume.

Luna performed to gypsy or Turkish song with her old style American cabaret. She is wearing a “Necklemans” costume in purple and gold. This costume was very flattering to her body type.

Michelle! She is energetic and she owns that stage. I really enjoy her stage presence. Every time I see her, she gets better and better. She is wearing a beautiful Bella costume. I can’t tell from the stage lighting if its red or burgundy.

Nadira is another beautiful Egyptian style dancer! I first saw her live a few years ago, and I was excited to see that she was on this DVD!! She really translates the music in her dance. Her technique is excellent! She is most likely wearing an “Eman Zaki” costume in gold. I hope I’m right!!

Nanna is another old style American cabaret dancer. I felt her performance was much better then Vol. 1. I think it was because of the LIVE audience! Nanna is wearing a do-it-yourself costume in gold and white.

Raqs Habibi is a trio of Monica, Jasmin and Shakira. They perform a sassy choreography! They end it in a pose of “monkey see, monkey do and monkey hear!” It’s nice to see a troupe performance on this DVD. They are wearing Egyptian made dresses in red, black and gold. Each of them is wearing a different style but same color motifs.
