One the Other hand I have met more than one dancer that dyed their hair Black and overused self-tan stuff to "fit the image")
I like the idea of dance persona name, it is more fun like that!

Dear Reen,
There are many Arabs who do have light skin, blonde hair and blue or green eyes. Lebanese and Syrians are known for that and I think Dina has green eyes, but I do not know if they are contacts or not. The word "Blonde" has quite a different meaning among Arabs as well. It refers to anyone with lighter skin. My hair is dark brown, but I am considered to be blonde by many of my Arab friends.
I agree with Caroline that it is rather presumptuous to have a professional name before one is professional.
Regards,
A'isha
