Video of the dancer Morocco.  Now I see why she’s so idolized in the US oriental dance community.   I like her youthful energy, and her zill/sagat playing is phenomenal.

Bellynesian?

One of the reasons I think I was so attracted to bellydance, and found it so fun, was that I lived in Hawaii, and I had learned hula as a little girl. So to see this fusion, and this new interest in taking hula dance as an art form rather than just a tourist attraction in Hawaii, means so much to me.  Polynesian dance deserves some more recognition!  I am so happy to see this video from the Bellydance Superstars.
