Dear Adiemus,
There are several really well known AmCab dancers who come to mind. My very favorite is Cassandra Shore, who used to do Egyptian style dance but now is very much more westernized in her styling. ( I am probably going to get some argument on this because most people think she is Egyptian.)
There is Salome, Suhaila Salimpour, Alexandra King,Tina Sargent, (who people also think is Egyptian),Karen Barbee and just a whole bunch of other dancers who are incredible in the style. Now, all of these dancers are every bit as different from each other as the Egyptian dancers are from each other, but all have that strong western signature in their dance that makes the American Oriental dancers, (another name for American Caberet) I wish I had some You Tube video of any of them, but I can not get signed up.
Regards,
A'isha
