This is a video clip i found on the net a long long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

If anybody has any information on this dancer, please post it here. Also, please post any comments/opinions you might have on her dancing.

Apologies in advance for the poor quality of the video.

Hi... me again

Apparently, it is the famous Lebanese dancer, Amani. I've been surfing YouTube and a found another videoclip of her. Still, I would appreciate any confirmation from people that know her, and still want opinions, comments.

Thanks again...

Yep thats Amani from Lebanon. She is a gorgeous and talented dancer. Id say she is one of the top dancers in Lebanon. She has hundreds of clips all around the place. She has proffesional video clips also. She holds festivals every year. She has a website. I think its Amani

She looks very much like Amani. I have seen her do baladi live and this looks very different.

Hi... me again

I posted the video on You Tube at the same I posted here. One of the comments went as follows...

Quote:

She´s the famous Amani from Lebanon. I have this video, she was very young by that time and not very famous. This was taped in the 80´s. Thanks for posting!

I want to thank everybody for responding. This is one of the first belllydance clips I ever saw on the Internet. I was really captivated by Amani's beauty and her superb dancing. I also like the costume a lot... it's sort of unique looking

I never knew who she was though!!! It was only till I found a way to convert the video from .ra to .avi and was able to post it here that I found my answer. Thanks to Salome & Co. for a great forum site.

BTW, the site I used to convert the video is at Media Converter - the fastest free online audio and video converter

Helpful hint.... If you have any Real Media vid-clips with an .ra extension, try changing it to a .rm extension, but save a copy of the original clip before doing so.
