What makes Aziza my belly dancing role model is her energy, her attitude and her presence. She is such an amazing dancer and is so articulate when it comes to speaking with her body, that you can tell her love of the dance is always present. Her vibrant energy and her amazing talent is something I hope to attain one day.
Keep dancing Aziza, because I can say you inspire a lot of people. ^_^
I see u know her ;) I remember her very well when i was a little girl she used to dance in a local restaurant in Portland, she knew me very well. Hope i could see her again.
I like how she doesnt dance to a structure. It's what she feels. I hate how there is such thing as proper foot work and such. yes elegance is imporant , but that comes from the passion for dancing with belly dance.
from an Egyptian point of view..this gurl is the best dancer I ve ever seen..unlike Sadie and Kaya she has the dancing spirit..she feels the music n let her body freely react 2 it..I think she's even better than Suhair Zaki!!!
@itsdrme True. Since I watched this video, I have watched many others of her. She does glide through air. Samaka 2, perhaps. lol Her veil work and instrumental solos are most impressive. Drum solos don't do justice to her grace.
she is staying apart from all other "world famous" dancers (from america) also with her costumes and that makes her more rare. thanks aziza for showing how to dance cheerfully and wittily while it looks like no effort. of course it is hypnotizing, because it is so natural and meaningful.
I attended her workshop in st louis and she was awesome. Very nice and down to earth. She gave a fabulous performance at the show which my troupe also performed at. it was very fun to be on the same stage with her watching in the audience. it was a great experience!!
Beauty personified! She creates movement that compliment the musicality of the song. She shimmies where appropriate, and not so ong that the attention wanders, always layering a slow move on top to create dimension. She is not frantic or jarring, no hesitation. Beautiful arms! She is subtle like the music calls for, and her floating moves are the best I've ever seen!
to merlinado.. i think u dont really appreciate this dance or not even bellydance.how can u say she s lazy?? its a wonderfu coreography and music. 1 of the best bellydancers. everything that was here was pure belllydance!!! twists and turns are actually part of bellydance. they make it more interesting
Sadie is indeed amazing in an atletic, gymnastic kind of way. She does amazing isolations in the Turkish style but she does not bellydance in the oriental traditon. In fact, she either has no interest or has been unsuccessful in understanding the arabic sensibility of middle eastern dance. Nice acrobatics but not exactly bellydancing.
Aziza, on the other hand is one of the few american dancers that comes close to evoking the arabic soul in her dancing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She is what we call a lazy belly dancer. This specific music is full of shimmies and she hardly moved. Twists and turns are not belly dancing. She is truly bad.
If everyone shimmied in the same place to ALf Leila, all the dances would look alike, no? She has simply chosen the melody line in strategic places, rather than limit herself to the percussion. IT's an interpretive choice and its beautiful. And it helps her stand apart from all those other dancers shimmying in the same places in Alf Leila. .
She was in Argentina and taught a choreography very similar to this. She is the best teacher by far, and she is as sweet as she looks in the video. We love you Aziza!! Come back soon.
True... I see in her the passion that the great Sohier Zaki has! She's very graceful. And she makes bellydancing look effortless! Unlike other dancers who look stiff and overly choreographed. Aziza's relaxed style and facial expressions shows that she really enjoys dancing!
I love Aziza, her simplicity, classiness, grace, and sweet demeanor remind me of Soheir Zaki, my favorite Egyptian dancer (even thought there are others).
super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
