Default Shoo Shoo Amin?

I have just been reading an article about an Egyptian Dancer named Shoo Shoo Amin. This is the first time I have heard of her. She worked professionally in London in the 80s. Has anyone else heard of her? Her shimmies sound amazing!

See article on Gilded Serpent.

I had never heard of her, but as she was dancing in London all those years I thought someone from the UK probably knows of her. Lucky you having the VHS compilation. You should get it converted to DVD.

I didn't know she danced in the UK..This sounds like a bit of investigative journalism for the mag.

Liz, where did you get that video? Is it one of the old Trytels? I want one!!

Shoo-shoo ROCKS! Shareen el Safy said she learned a lot from watching her.
