Famous Egyptian Belly Dancer Samia Gamal

I found this great video on YouTube of the famous Egyptian Belly Dancer Samia Gamal.





If you would like to know more about Samia's history, read the web page below which gives a comprehensive biog (only some of which is shown):


Samia Gamal was born in 1924 in the small Egyptian town of Wana. Months later, her family moved to Cairo and settled near the Khan-El_Khalili bazaar. Samia Gamal then met Badia Masabni, the founder of modern Oriental Dance and accepted an invitation to join Badia Masabni's dance company. Samia Gamal became a soloist and brought forth a newer improvised style. Samia Gamal then incorporated technique from ballet and Latin dance into her solo performances.
