Searching for a specific Aida Nour Choreography

Knitting Jo · 06-09-2008, 04:21 AM

Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking on this site for a while now, Hello!

Would anyone be able to advise me of a way to try and track down old AIda Nour choreographies? Specifically I am after "Mandam Al'ek"
My teacher back in Perth taught it a couple of years ago and I am searching for a video/choreography of it in order to perform it at the end of the year.

Actually where is a good general source of Aida Nour goodness? I really like her relaxed style and have watched most of what youtube had to offer regarding it.

Check with Little Egypt Home Page. They have alot of her workshops on DVD or VHS and they might have what you are looking for. e-mail them and they will get back quickly.
Ohhhhh and welcome

Hi Jo,
Did you dance with Angie? I've got the written notes to it if that's any help, don't know about a video tho.

This was on the 2002 Winter Warmup Bellydance Conference video. After all this time Maria quite possibly will sell it to people who weren't at the intensive. You can contact her via her website About the Annual Winter Warmup

I love this choreography and we did it at our latest show - however despite its presentation at the time, it is not a ghawazee choreography - nor is the music ghawazee (its Lebanese). Very sassy. Even the tears I cried were a waste of time, stomp, stomp!!

I thought I recognised the name!!!! I danced this with Kashmir at the show and it really is a cool dance - woman power all the way!

This is such a sassy dance, I love it.
