Belly Dancer Tribute: Dahlena (Las Vegas, NV/Chicago, IL)
My first introduction to the legendary Dahlena was through her albums, Middle Eastern Music for Belly Dancing, Volumes 1 and 2. I loved those albums picked up a lot of great finger cymbal skills and knowledge of rhythms from both. I had a chance to meet the legend in person when she sponsored a workshop in Chicago that I attend about 10 years ago. I felt very welcomed and like I was a part of the family. Some workshops are cold and impersonal, but I felt very comfortable around the other dancers participating. That was an honor to meet a great dance master in person. Check her out at:
