Romantic GrecoTurkish Tsifte Telli: Aziza Al-Tawil Preseerves a Dying Art

I've given my life to the preservation of lost steps of traditional belly dance as danced by the elders who did it since childhood. They did it in a time when there was no "mass media" and a new fad did not come along every fifteen minutes. A bad bout with respiratory problems put a delay on production of a new video dedicated to the dance as I knew it from elder immigrants from Greece and parts of Turkey and the Middle East and Asia Minor. The clip I'm releasing is a brief bit from the slow portion and it's enjoyed. There will be more coming soon with the full video release. I will let everyone know. Thank You, Aziza                                                                                                                                       Watch the clip here:
