Thank you everyone for the lovely comments! I was a baby dancer in this video. I had only been studying for about 1 year when I did this show in 2005. I haven't watched this clip in years, because I didn't think it was worthy....I'm glad I revisited it! And now I'm gonna at it to my favorites:) For those who didn't approve of the costume, I've moved on to the modern Cairo look:) Thank you for filming and uploading this Parveneh, it's nice to look back on! - Shaunte
you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! fabulous. perfect!!! this is my new favorite parveneh, for postin. keep em coming!! makes me want to get back into bellydancing.
get used to it -geese, dance only started in Africa by a black woman(oh, she was only a Goddess trained by the wise). nothing against the mid-east, but to me the style is too tight/scripted, too staged. for me black belly dancers are the best!

Swahili Song (Kiuno Viuno), and while you are there, check out African dancers-- then you will understand
