Azza Sherif is the only belly dancer that has truly impressed me. She doesn't just go through the motions and steps. She feels the music and sensuality pours out of her every move. This is a woman I wish I could meet. If I could be half of what she is, I would know that I am an incredible dancer. Thank you Egypt for giving us this perfect talent. You guys do it the best!
Now this is belly dance and true artistry, not how much skin you can show and and full of shimmies! Over 9 minutes on her toes wringing the last drop of expression out of her entire body! Brava!!
you probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother these days =)
I saw her do this incredible show "LIVE" when I first came to dance in Cairo in 1978......I STILL GET "CHILLS" WHEN I SEE THIS!.....videos were not generally accessible until the early to mid 80's....that is when most of us dancers originally acquired this VHS......and were so inspired and impressed by her.......some newer dancers have seen this video and loved it....BUT DID NOT KNOW HER NAME.......as she never got the "publicity" that other dancers received.......HOWEVER EVERYONE LOVES IT!
The absolute best video of a real belly dancer, down to earth, inside the music, just goosebump zoned. No inflated boobs, no sex, no drama, there will never be another video like this ever. Simple and totally awesome.
I love literally EVERYTHING about this video-the dancing, the music, the singing, the colors, the decor, the passion, the feeling, the energy and vibrations...all of it. This is honestly the most captivating belly dance I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.
I love everything about this the outfit, the dance, the dancer, the energy, professionalisms and authenticity she shows. I also love the fact that she is not half naked so the focus is more on her dance than anything else! Unfortunately many of the foreign or western belly dancers of today lack that knowledge which has ruined the dance.
Belly dancing was invented by Roma people and there is nothing wrong with showing upper body skin or cleavage in Romani culture. So this comment is just wrong and unnecessary
Thats REAL dance, so elegant, so alive! Such a beautifull atmosphere of joy and beautifull colours in her dress, that still allows to appreciate her moves and body. Thank you for this video it inspires me and my children!
Always loved this clip! One that inspired me so much as a young dancer. Seems strange seeing a belly dancer dance on her toes now, much more flat-footed these days. Think it helps give that wonderful, extra swivel in her twists. Wonderful to see again.
Essa é a dança do ventre que eu sempre amei e defendi . Essa é a essência. Não há sofreguidão nos passos , desespero coreográfico , ...nem qualquer outra coisa sem alma, sem leveza, beleza e coerência como há muito se vê atualmente ......
She has been my most importend inspiration, and i am happy to found this video again after about 30 years ... it still makes me happy this pure art of dancing ...
Amazing! I think that this is the best performance that I have ever seen up to date. I had never heard of her until I came across your video. Thank you for so much for sharing this.
How much I miss the old style, during those times belly dancers were considered artists, plus there was so much elegance in their dance, so much beauty , I've watched an interview of Najwa Fouad about what's currently happening in belly dance and how ruined the art is, how the new dancers introduced striptease moves and so much vulgarity, very sad, dancers back then had a calling, intensity, I've watched Mona Said dancing at Mena House, I got goosebumps, that's what true art is , I wish it would come back but I can't understand why certain dancers were allowed to ruin the art, especially those from a certain country.. Oh well, modern superficial times I guess, all about showing more skin and less soul
new to the dance (3 years) and i agree. there's a "vibe" or joy and "feeling alive" that has been replaced by skill without soul. some vintage costumes showed alot more skin that they do today, so i cant comment on that really. you have also to think about whos hiring todays dancers to get a rounded picture of WHY its changed to what it has.
@@Rebellescum yes true...the ones who are hiring are mostly men so I'm aware of it , it's a sad situation, like you've sad skills without soul..so many Egyptian oriental dancers didn't have teachers and learned everything on their own and afterwards developed their own style... I think this is the hardest part , nowadays there is a very narcissistic vibe , it's not about showing skin although during the famous era costumes had to respect certain rules in order to be considered halal...but nowadays on ig I've seen some really vulgar stuff and it's very disappointing... maybe I'm old fashioned but one can't "bellydance" in bikini showing full back and butt and calling it "bellydance" or raqs sharqi... it's very degrading.... because if one wants this art to be respected than it must be treated as so ....if you know what I mean...Arabs used to have a word for gifted dancers that symbolized almost going in a sort of trance and not everyone was able to achieve it ..long story....do you have a favorite dancer?
@@lavip.9838 I think about this and try not to be judgmental but modern belly dancing seems very westernized and sexual. Whereas older belly dance is transfixing for a completely different reason which is probably why it feels more like art. I like Nabaweya Mustafa because I have never seen another person move like she does. It’s so unique that until seeing her I didn’t realize the extent of individuation that goes into dancing. Which seems obvious now… Azza also deeply inspires me. She makes me want to get up and dance
This is great bellydancing!! it has so much rhythm, sensuality, connection with the rhythms of Heaven and Earth..connection to Divine wisdom, and just gorgeous!!
sorry to deceive you... but please read carefully the tittle of the video !!! this is not egyptian dance !!! its tunisian dance !!!! very well interpreted by an egyptian dancer !!!!! merciiiii
Super super super dance... excellent performance ... The best belly dance I have seen so far in life... beautiful women dancing with heart ... may your soul live in eternity...🌞🌻❤️.
Perfection of Talent, Beauty, Spirit, Joy, awesome vitality and Performance! Then, of course, the MUSIC!!! THIS is the fascination and attraction that lasts a lifetime!
It’s amazing that even tho the movements are very basic (twist shimmy variations) the show is amazing and she’s a wonderful dancer. Proves that u don’t need all the bells and whistles in nowadays dancers
Simplicity, elegance and great performance... Honestly, the performance in the years before was much better than our current time...with all due respect
Nope the Egyptian dance was and still the same this is different just because it's not Egyptian it's Tunisian, from the clothes to the song and the dance everything is Tunisian🇹🇳
edwin gerard who said her movements are Egyptian? It is clearly written on the title EGYPTIAN (in origin) Belly dancer dancing TUNISIAN (style of dance) Thank you
Ela dança lindamente e de forma corretíssima. De ponta de pé! Excelente! De grande criatividade! Mas esse é o certo! Compasso perfeito! Parece Fifi Abdo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sadly she passed away recently :(
Chantal Zahedi - I agree! She spent over 9 minutes on her toes pouring out all of herself into every single movement! Brava
her and Mona
soo beautiful!❤Drumnwild!🥁
I agree wish I could see more of her
Now this is belly dance and true artistry, not how much skin you can show and and full of shimmies! Over 9 minutes on her toes wringing the last drop of expression out of her entire body! Brava!!
Exactly!
She dances on her toes because it's a traditional tunisian (not egyptian) dance !!
@@rosedudesert4389 Indeed. Someone said it finally
you probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother these days =)
@Garrett Luis yup, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself =)

Omg you are soooo lucky!! I just started belly dancing and I honestly get chills watching this too!
The absolute best video of a real belly dancer, down to earth, inside the music, just goosebump zoned. No inflated boobs, no sex, no drama, there will never be another video like this ever. Simple and totally awesome.
I would like to point out, this MASTER of her craft danced for 9 minutes and 20 seconds STRAIGHT. She is AMAZING!
And this is STILL one of the BEST dance performances I've ever seen. It is so genuine in so many ways...
Absolutely the best dancer that lived. We are lucky to have these 10 mins of magic crystalised on public record.
Yes
I belive I have found the true legacy of bellydance in here. A big salute to the artist.
I love literally EVERYTHING about this video-the dancing, the music, the singing, the colors, the decor, the passion, the feeling, the energy and vibrations...all of it. This is honestly the most captivating belly dance I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.
GOD, I had a feeling it was this majestic, but now I know with my own eyes, this is fucking AMAZING!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO PRACTICE THIS AND DO MY THANG!
Me too
Azza really was such an amazing dancer and a Jewel of Egypt. May she rest in peace.
Rip❤❤❤❤was stunning dancer
This is pure magic! The REAL bellydance. She is not of this world
One of the best versions of Arabic folk dance. With the energy and lightness of one of the best dancers
Not folk dance.
Azza Sherif Traditional... Now that is REAL dancing! That's the way it is done! Excellent video. Thank you so much for giving it to us!
This is timeless and beautiful! I love Azza Sherif , and I find her underrated unfortunately. Beautiful clothing, and dancing style 🇹🇳
Authentic and georgeous! Stile and elegance for ever.
Rest in peace, such a beautiful dancer/woman.
She is the best I've ever seen... music matters, a lot of it has to do with those amazing drums, too.
I love everything about this the outfit, the dance, the dancer, the energy, professionalisms and authenticity she shows. I also love the fact that she is not half naked so the focus is more on her dance than anything else!

One of the greatest and most beautiful dancers in the world. I love to watch her move! Duende, Pasíon..She's got it!

I love how lively her dancing is!! Very enchanting
This is incredibly impressive. That woman is one talented dancer.
