Really nice moves and choreography. After reading some comments about the costume, I suppose it must look much nicer in real space...a video always looses quality of colour and details. On the other hand, I think perhaps another colour would have suited your complexion and hair colour much more than the light grey...I would like to see you a deep purple or royal or tourquoise blue?  Sunny Greetings from Greece.

Thank you for the nice comment. ;) Funny, and unfortunate that the color of this costume really doesn't translate at all on this video. The color is actually a dark lavender, cornflower blue and black with a gold iridescence over the top. It's much prettier in person. LOL. But, I agree, this costume actually looks much better on me in the summer time when my skin is tan. ;)

Reali good, but a ugly dress!! ;I

@anse884 -gosh, thanks. Almost all of my costumes are from Egypt. It's made by one of the most esteemed costumers in Cairo, Eman Zaki. I guess Egyptian style isn't your thing. ;)

Don´t worry about hair or your dress please. when you are doing well your job, the rest are just accesories.

At that time, belly dancing was in its infancy in the U.S. Unfortunately, I have never seen any videos made of me dancing. I am sure that some Japanese tourist who visited Athens in the 80's must have filmed me. I wish I could be as young as I was then and dancing today. So many more opportunities available.

Just wanted to add that I do like the design and the fit of your beautiful costume. It really shows off your excellent shimmies and of course your belly-dancer body:):) Keep dancing! I was dancing in the early 70's and studied in NY with Serena and Zeba, but danced in a small troupe in Lansing, Mi.
