Mystery Dancers on Soiree video

[Zamira]

So it's a cold, gloomy Sunday day, and I've been digging out some of my old belly dance DVDs that I haven't watched in a while. One is "Dina & Best of Cairo Dancers in (Soiree)" from Saut wa Soora. The quality is terrible, the camera work is spotty, but there are two dancers I really love. Their names are given on the menu as Kamelia and Yasemin. Kamelia dances first in a white costume and then in a blue velvet costume with pants. Yasemin wears black and does an adorable dance to Harramt Ahebek by Warda.

Does anyone know who these dancers are and if they can be found on any other videos?

Yay Camelia!!! I love this lady. She was living in Austin for a while and a few of us here got to know her well. I took some private lessons from her.

Camelia is from Brazil, where she has return to. She lived in the Middle East for a while, dancing there. Although she started out in a Lebanese folkloric troupe in Lebanon, she's had dance contracts in UAE and Cairo. I believe her specialty is khaleegy, which she picked up while working in the Gulf.
