Hey Shems:
I recently bought Leila's DVD from Yasmin and I really like it. It is a full show with the typical structure, and I think Leila is enchanting.

If you could list your top 5 favorites that would be great.
My top 5 favorites that I currently own to start you off are:
1-Fifi Abdo Concert in Al Esmailia Egypt
2-Mona El-Said in Shewaiya Balady and Rakasny Ya Gadaa added together
3-Amani in Turquoise International's International Conference on Middle Eastern Dance, performance vol. 4
4-Sahra Saeeda
5-Nadia Gamal - The Legend
I'm not loving most of the rest of the full show footage I have of other dancers. In particular if you have recommendations for the following dancers best show available on DVD or VHS please let me know:
Randa,
Dina,
Nagwa Fouad,
Soraya,
Asmahan,
Souhair Zaki,
Dandash
Shu Shu Amin,
Sahar Hamdi,
Nadia Hamdi
Also any others of performers who lived and or worked in Egypt or Lebanon particularly. Any other good show footage available of the dancers in my top 5 list too would be great.
