This Najwa clips is so different from her in the 70's its hard for me to reconcile the two.

she is just amazing. she flows like a feather!! just an incredible dancer. Too bad everydancer today has to bee so robotic and cold. Most dancers on you tube lack so much personality and they turned belly dance into something fast and mechanic. Too bad!

@monak2 Najwa is Palestinian but moved to Egypt when she was a teen, I think, so she's Egyptian by residency.

@bellybunny

Yes, the influence of Tahia Carioka and Samia Gamal was very powerful. Just like Dina's and Randa's style dominate the oriental dance today. Love & Light

@ColoradoDancer Any music can be difficult or easy to dance - depending on how good a dancer is. And I like her much, much more in her early years... It is debatable if she became a better dancer. But she became a different one for sure!

Interesting to note that the first club Najwa applied to dance didn't want to hire her and said her one cross-eye was too distracting.

She's from Palestine and had to escape her homeland as she said her house was "blown up by Zionist gangs."

So glad she made it to Egypt and became a great dancer!

@monak2 - Actually she's doing many of the same moves over and over. The music isn't difficult to dance to but it is limiting - but beautiful music - is it from Mohammed Abdel Wahab?

Anyway Najwa became a much better dancer later in her career. Really liked her folkloric dancing.
