Suheir Zaki

[hapauchinanchu1]

That is the example of all examples of the classic Egyptian style. My teacher emulates and treasures the culture of this dance. If only I could dance like this Goddess of Dance.

I love Suheir Zaki! I just recently posted some vintage clips of her on my channel. To find me, search for Norma Detroit Belly Dancer.

Where can I get this in CD? I have it in cassette. Thanks!

[donaldnguyen90]

How old is she now?Which year was she born?

[z1hna]

She's over 60 now I guess from seeing her at an Egyption reception in her function as an emmissary. She's much heavier now, but still gives occasional dance seminars in Egypt. She's considered one of the most ideal and was the only one allowed to perform dance to the music of Um Kaltum in her day.

[Sohaila95]

What is Um Kaltum, please? :)

[thetrulyairyfairy]

Om Khaltoum is a very famous singer in Egypt from the 50s (I think). There's a video of her on here somewhere which helps to explain it better than I can!

[weisha7]

Wow - what was the REAL music she used?

[bellybybethsheba]

Did you ever find the music? I have it in cassette adn would love it in cd. Let me know!

[baadrobot]

The reason why this video is off is because the music that is playing is not the actual music she is dancing to. I have the video of her dancing to this music and the video of this one with the real music.

[raqsgothique]

[anaguevara]

[Layeli]

Thank you for posting this video! Thank you so much!

[Dabke]

Great video!Those stage design are really funny...She's great, her hips are strong, and her smile is so sweet!!!

[rubylotus]

Did someone strangle the camera man? Less annoying than those cleavage shots, but close-ups of someone's hands don't tell you how they dance?

[rosalgueiro]

This is my favorite Suher clip ever! Beautiful!

[lilydelvalley]

This is a great dance by Suhair. The only problem is that the audio a behind about one or two beats. That was a problem when the video came over back in the 1970s/80s and was converted from PAL to NTSC.
