SWORD DANCE, Zahirah, Salt Lake City

Invited to dance in the Second Awards of Belly Dance performance in Los Angeles by Suzy Evans (the producer of instructional and entertainment items for dancers and fans of belly dance) after she had watched Zahirah perform at Rakkassah in Oakland, California the March before, Zahirah packed up in August a few months later and flew out to L.A. Arriving at the theater only a few minutes before the show, she spoke to the musicians (John Bilezikjian on oud, Var on dombek, Ishmael on kanoon) about music. They hummed, strummed, tekked some beats for her. Walking on stage, knowing they were experience musicians, dancing the music, it was as though the musicians watched her movements, and her movements heard the music.

Beautiful, May I ask where you purchased that lovely sword?

[Zahirahbellydancer]

@heretic1965 The sword was a gift, professionally made for me by a sword craftsman who no longer makes them. Sorry.
