Great to see cymbals being used! So many of the Egyptians don't seem to utilize them much in the modern style.

On one hand why aren't you happy, that foreigners like your culture, your music, your dance, and try to learn it?

On the other hand, maybe you are right, maybe it's funny when foreigner bellydancers use arabic names. (although they don't hurt anyone with this). It's just as funny as arabic girls, using blue/green lenses and trying to turn their black hair to blond.

So pls ask your girls to stop trying to look europen. :)

@DoomDevil she's one of the Egyptian greats she's starred in Egyptian movies, here she is just teaching not performing 

[MissCephalopod]

@DoomDevil I really hope you, as an Arab, have never done ballet, flamenco, salsa, samba, hip hop, waltz, tap dance, swing, charleston, burlesque, tango, schuhplattler, meringue, jive, twist, rock'n'roll or any of those other foreign dance forms whose essence you will never be able to capture. If you have, please stop trying, as you will obviously never get it. Don't even get me started on yoga, karate or taekwondo.

Aida Nour is such a great teacher and dancer, one of the best!

Many egyptian dancers have western influence especially in the classical oriental style (example Samia Gamal, Naima Akef) and also many arabic dancers have western names like Dina and Lucy and the other way around. I think that this is a wonderfull thing, These worlds can learn each other so much, lets embrace that! With love, Leana

I love to see zills being used ...but after the Surgery on my hand I can no longer use them. Doomevil...have you ever stopped to think that maybe the dancers of other countries give themselves Arabic names out of respect for the origin of the dance they love. Also dance comes from the heart....do you here people from America or England saying that people in the arabic countries should not dance our way to modern music that they should stick to Belly Dancing....NO YOU DO NOT. You need to chill

@DoomDevil loool! honestly u crack me up.. u sooo funny!

im not gonna waist my time cos this seems never ending, but thanx for d discussion and for a good laugh... peace!

[DoomDevil]

@magdalenatsapos Yeah...We always hear foreigners talk EXACTLY like you! Thinking that they have gotten the grasp of it! Unless you're one of us, you will NOT be able to get it, live with this and accept it. And please, tell your "fellow" bellydancers to stop using ARABIC names.

[DoomDevil]

@magdalenatsapos Bellydancing is something natural for Arabs, not something they learn!!! It's really funny to see others trying to copy Arabs and even give themselves Arabic names!!! How amazing...
