"My primary motivation in buying this video was to watch Amar Gamal and Kaeshi. They did not disappoint. They are 2 of the most watchable belly dancers for me and their performances were original, highly enjoyable and beautiful. The choreographies they each performed were inventive, especially in the case of Kaeshi. I loved the twist she put in the veil dance, giving it a bondage spin without deviating from tastefulness. One other dancer I also enjoy is Aziza, as she always has a very high energy level that never seems to flag despite what she is doing onstage. I have been dancing for only 2 years and I find it hard to keep my smile on all the time. She really relays her enjoyment of what she is doing so well that I find myself inspired whenever I watch her. Sadly I cannot recall the name of the dancer who performed with the cane because I also liked her performance.

Those were the only performances I found myself entranced by. The rest seemed repetitive and unoriginal. The one I liked least was the performance of the Shimmy Sisters. Technically they may know how to do the moves but they seemed to lack fluidity and grace, and their choreography was neither original nor enjoyable."

One of the Best Bellydance Performance DVD's out there!

"I love this DVD, Aziza, Amar Gamal and Kaeshi are among my favorite dancers. I also discovered some really amazing dancers like Ava Fleming, Sandra and Louchia in this DVD. The set and lighting was really cool as well."
