Woooow, your costume is the most beautiful thing I've seen!

I would like one as beautiful as yours, oh, someday:))

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

Thank you so much! Your costumes are very beauatiful too. I love lots of long, beaded fringe to emphasize my shimmies and subtle movements in the music.

[NormaDancer2]

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

I love them too Norma! Shokran.......Have a beautiful weekend......'Raya ;))))

[SUNNYD3322]

Great performance again. Well done!

[NativeAmerigoth]

One thing I love to watch when you shimmy your hips, is the fringe on your skirt just flinging to and fro and glistening in the light! I just love it when you do that! :-D

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

The actual concert video was too lengthy for You Tube, at over 23 mins. I will pick the longest segment that You Tube allows and re-upload. ;-)

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

You got it..... the entire video is forthcoming today!

[TommyTabla2]

Can't wait to see the entire thing!!!!!!!!

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

SAS actually, I shall upload this performance in it's entirety tomorrow from the musical introduction to the finale' rather than breaking it down. I also prefer it as one long piece....;-)))))))

[NJBellyDanceEvents]

Thank you Sai, Amara and SAS!!!!! Awa,the piece is long (one of my all time favorites for very rhythmic changes, classical orchestration and depth. This is only a tiny portion of the entire video. I will upload more of them tomorrow! I am so glad you enjoyed this......

[Amaraalamir]

Awesome performance...a classic to see again and again...what joy and we miss those full bands.

[sasguru1]

Excellent performance Soraya. I just love when you look up, being part of the music. I wish the clip was longer. Mashael is long 8-10 minutes, requires a variety of movements and tons of energy. It is only danced by masters, and you are one.

[sasguru1]

I would like to add about the music. Mashael is composed by Mokhtar Al Said and Hani Mhanna played the uniq org in it. Mokhtar used to compose music for Raqia Hassan when she was at the Egyptian Folklore Troupe Reda. Later he led El Ferka El Maseya (The Diamond Band). Also, Hani played bellydance music for Nagwa Fouad in movies, and Raqia is one who trained Dina and Randa Kamal.

This is very graceful!!! Your hair looks so cute :)
