Dear Estha thank you for your beautifull words!I m happy that you like my performance.It s pitty i didnt met you....hope the next time.Respect to all

I completely agree with Kayammer (geia sou Tasouli).
At a pure male belly dance show the dancers will be judged by the audience lot more objectively than if a single male dancer performs at a show with 30 females! Maybe in America the ladies go crazy if a man pops up at a belly dance show, but in Greece, where we have quite many male belly dancers, women react enthusiastic only when they see really good male dancers. I think that a pure male show is a very good idea, because the audience can compare males to other males and only in this situation you can distinguish the good from the bad dancers. This doesn't mean that the dancers will be observed as strippers. I've watched quite some male belly dancers live and I really enjoyed the performances of the ones that were good (like Prince Kayammer, Serkan, Malek, Horacio Cifuentes) but I hated the performances of some who were not good or not according to my dance taste (and believe me there are quite some of them in Greece and also in Germany).
