[1Koalagr]

like it very much....whats the name of the belly dance?

[MariaAya]

@1Koalagr the song? its improvisational baladi

[ludan21]

OMG ....I love your dance...congrats girl !!!

[lrkpr]

AYWA! Love it, you're such a beautiful effortless dancer, I want to find such an ease and grace in my own dancing (yes I'm a girl). Thank you for this :-)

[YANAandEnsemble]

How many thousands of letters with "Will you marry me?" did you get after this charming video?!!!!!!!!!!!

[MariaAya]

@YANAandEnsemble actualy its funny and yes !!! i get those proposals lol, i've checked recently the statistics for the video and its something like 60 % from Egypt & Saud Arabia, but from ages 25 to 50 from women, and i liked this very much :)

[MagycArwen]

such a beledi woman! I love it <3

[Idunsdottir]

Your type of dance is what I've been looking for. I used to go to belly dance classes run by a Lebanese lady in my hometown. I didn't know what type of belly dance it was that I'd been learning - just that I loved it and it was beautiful and fun. I've found it so disheartening going back into the dance and coming across all the cabaret and tribal stuff. Raqs Baladi is where it's at! You are an astounding dancer with the grace of a queen even in rubber gloves! Thank you :).

[MariaAya]

@Idunsdottir I just cant say more than a simple thank you :) :) :)

[holantina]

@Idunsdottir I so agree with you! Many people think that -in order to make a performance "interesting" and appealing to the public- they have to do a lot, and i really mean A LOT of difficult isolations and three isolations at the same time, etc. All you have to do is to be authentic, having good technique and expression and just respecting for the style you are dancing and the culture of those countries it comes from :-)

[tasos555t]

glikia mou theotreli maria :))))))))

[MariaAya]

@tasos555t he he, ama den moiazame den tha sumpetheriazame ;)

[lostintheNET1]

TY, Maria.

A woman can be sensual, even in the kitchen, even in the morning, even on housewife clothes, even without being a supermodel.

All she need, is to be a REAL WOMAN.

:-)

[MariaAya]

@lostintheNET1 True said ! this is what i think also :) ty for your nice comments :)

[Naivanna]

Felicidades María!!! Tu estilo es natural, espontaneo, alegre....10 puntos.

[Naivanna]

feicidades maria, bailas sensacional. tu estilo es natural, espontaneo, alegre!!

[LA710kr]

[mimi42093]

Finally..a natural bellydancer. It's obvious you know what you were doing and it seems like you have been doing this for a very long time. I am an Arab woman as well and I am so sick of western girls thinking they can take a few classes and just suddenly become a belly dancer.

[MariaAya]

@mimi42093 Alf Shokran ya Mimi !!! I'm 1/4 Eskandaraneyia... for me arabic music and dance is my life, and really enjoy it first of all :) shokran

Beautiful and graceful dancing, with a little 'burlesque' removing of the gloves lol

Love it!

I always shimmy while washing up (may as well, since I have to stand in one spot for so long) but don't have room in my kitchen to actually dance.

Well done :)

[sherdance]

Telia! That was awesome, bravo Maria!

[naomivanm]

Supercool!!!

[sasha8988]

That is INDEED the first kitchen bellydance I've ever seen...and fabulous. You're an awesome dancer! And the moves you used flow and are way more authentic than most of the other crap they have here on youtube. Hilarious how you throw off your dishwashing gloves in the beginning to the music, lol. Dance on!

[Mothbelly]

Hope you don't mind, MariaAya, but as we're working on Baladi progression in class, I'm pointing my students to this video to illustrate what I'm talking about and inspire them to get up and dance around their kitchens! Feedback so far - they love it!! Starting a little Baladi craze in west Wales!

[Hatoun]

first of all- you're a beautiful dancer! additionally, thanks for a scrumptious laugh...I end up dancing instead of dishwashing as well!! Where are you on the world map? your dancing is so lovable...

[MariaAya]

Hmm i really liked the thought of "shimmying boiled water" !!! but I'm gonna cook koshari instead;) thank you all !!!

[alkenzballet]

Fantastic... Life as it is: the very esence of dancing, the source of an artistic work is an artistic person (by the way, I'm convinced if you keep "shimying" the water to do some pasta boils sooner). I'm your fan, geniale Maria Aya.

Perla from al kenz ballet

[alkenzballet]

[alongamzu]

your sweet and wonderfull!

[neshobe]

I am 65 and just really learning oriental dance, though I've danced all my life. Since there are no classes near me, I am watching videos to learn and wading through too many tasteless "adaptations". Thank you for such a lovely demonstration of what a beautiful and joyful thing this is. I am now both a student and a fan of yours!

[PriscilaJ]

You're just perfect! I loved your dance!

[MariaAya]

Thank you all for the lovely comments:)

My philosophy is that oriental dance can give us joy and happiness in everyday, and this is the value of it, doesnt have borders of countries, age, weight or culture, hit us and make us glow right into the center of our existance.

kisses to all my worldwide friends

Maria Aya

[tontorrona07]
