Hi, can anyone tell me about Asmahan and what her style of dance is? I saw a great clip of her on YouTube and I loved it. Is she Lebanese? Does anyone have any good clips of her dancing they recommend? Thanks

I believe she is Argentinian but dances in Egypt. I saw her perform a couple of months ago. Lots of drama, some unusual costume changes, quite a spectacle really. I'm not an expert but I enjoyed watching her. She is also featured on Yasmina of Cairo's film about foreign dancers in Cairo. Just checked and according to Yasmina's website, she dances at the Nile Maxime floating restaurant in Cairo.

Thats interesting, she's good I really liked her. I'm gonna take a look at that website you mentioned. Is that movie in English? And would you happen to know where I could find it? Thanks again

You can buy it here.
Belly dance costume & belly dance supplies at Aladdin's Cave ref YASDVD03 It's in English, don't know whether it works on all region DVDs - I really get confused by that. And sorry, yes I should have said she doesn't dance on it. Just is interviewed a bit about dancing in Cairo, along with others. (thanks Outi) |

Asmahan taught and danced at JoY festival in the UK this October. her performance was wonderful and she is a thoughtful and sensitive teacher. I love her! I will link through photos my husband took of her and I have posted on my Bhuz gallery. » BELLYDANCE CENTRAL - Everything Belly Dance!
