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:
