Joana Saahirah of Cairo dancing baladi and tabla improvisation in Egypt

Cairo, the 13th November, 2010

And one of my famous baladi improvisations...

If I dare not to dance one of my baladis, I suspect I will have tomatoes and other culinary delights (like lebanese hummus and fallafel ) thrown at my face...

The audience (specially egyptians, the best audience in the world!) DEMANDS one of my baladi improvisations and, if I don't do it in one show, there are complaints and assertive requests!

So I concede and do it with all my pleasure, joy and FIRE.

My dance is me...simply as that. And I am LIFE!!! So full, so much, so intense all the time that it makes me tired, some times, of being myself! LOL
