Oh come on ...Meatmanize...Tanya and Layla Taj are not even on the same page ....Layla is egyptian/american. The dance is in her blood. Tanya is okay but she can only immitate Layla because it's not her heritage .Layla has great feeling when she dances.I saw her perform in Dubai and Cairo. She also has that beautiful image guys like us go crazy for! Someone is obviously very jealous of Layla. Sorry Tanya,you're not the real deal!

Hi Luvlivedance99 and themeatmanize, interesting comment s but don't even know Layla, haven't seen her dance so not an imitation:) just me dancing from the heart. I'm sure you don't know my ethnic heritage is not disclosed on line. Prefer to have dance enjoyed (or not) as offered and clearly tastes differ. Prefer not to have judged as a response to any interesting dynamics going on between layla/non-layla fans ... either good or bad commentary ...

Thank you .... does that mean I have to stop when I turn 60? darn :)

[MrDancerguru]

I don't think Layla is quite that old. Matbe close but not quite.

[tanyadancer]

I don't think she even looks close to 60 ... in fact I thought she looked quite loverly. But thanks for the compliment :) ... I suspect even age won't stop me dancing in any event... hope people still enjoy it when I am old! Tanya

[TheMeatmanize]

It is so nice to watch a dancer with true talent rather than that old woman trying to look youg. You are the real deal!

I like that you have a deep understanding for middle-eastern music and a passionate expression-the video deserves all stars it can get ;-)

[TheMeatmanize]

I don't kow why you wold say people are jealous of Layla taj. Certainly, there is no reason why they should be. All I am saying is that Tanya's beauty and talent surpasses most other dancers-including Taj.

[MrDancerguru]

Haha...I think, perhaps, Ms. Layla has had a little "assistance".

[MrDancerguru]

I am sorry Mr. Luvlivedance99. I must agree with the others. Tanya is far more beautiful and graceful. Perhaps you like older women but Layla Taj just doesn't have the same beauty and talent as Tanya.
