Samia is great, her techniques look so easy to the untrained eyes, she dances so effortless, if one notice how many steps and techniques packed in one minute of her dancing, a lot! One minute of Samia = full dance of a modern dancer like Dina for example. And Dina still is a very good dancer.

Samia may not be my favorite belly dancer, but this clip made me see that she is more talented than I originally thought she was. I love her dance here! I love the way she moved her hips! I think I shall add this to my favorite videos.

to gypsy8522...thank you so much for the classic movie clips. NOW i REALLY feel like i get a chance to see what bellydancing truly is. so far my two favs are ra'asa naemet mokhtar and samia gamal. both are beautifully delicate, very sweet, feminine and flirty. and these classic costumes are sooooo beautiful!!! i'm also starting to understand the meaning of emotional content in the dance as well. educational as well as entertaining!!! thank you.
