Why? I'm curious. I don't know dance scene in America and only a few dancer - most through dvds.

There is so few dancer who can do Egyptian style and capture the essence in West. Most of them have been working in Egypt or have been around a loads of Arabs for years etc. Sahra Saeeda is one of them.

I think of American style as being more dramatic, pops and locks, more muscular in a way- say Michelle Joyce or Ansuya. More energetic, more look at me

I haven't seen Michelle - although she is a gerat lady, made my website. Ansuya if I'm correct is more of Am. Cab, which is style of it's own.

There is great drum solo (Egyptians don't do them so often) by Dina, which bring the essence.
