About "American Bellydancer":
American Bellydancer is the first feature documentary on the art and practice of bellydance in the USA. Directed by highly respected documentary director, Jonathan Brandeis, historical perspectives are touched upon, but the focus is bellydance today. The male-female divide, the East-West dichotomy since September 11, and the controversy surrounding the birth of the world’s first professional bellydance troupe, the Bellydance Superstars and Desert Roses, are woven together amid interviews and performances, featuring America’s icons of bellydance. Though it may come as a surprise to many, there are more bellydancers in the USA than the rest of the world put together. This fact, plus the current wave of suppression in the Middle East has made American bellydance the center of the art today. Morocco, Tamalyn Dallal, Philidas, Tiffany Hanan, Rachel Galob Ortego, and the outspoken, Suhaila, are featured, the latter taking on producer, Miles Copeland, and giving him an earful.

The Bellydance Superstars and Desert Roses’ formation along with performances in Bali, Indonesia and on the US Lollapalooza festival tour provide a backdrop and storyline. The characters of Jillina, Ansuya, and Rachel Brice are particularly strong. Also featured are Sonia, Amar Gamal, Kaeshi, and Petite Jamilla.

Anyone interested in bellydance or even the workings of the entertainment business will find the film fascinating, informative, thought-provoking, and, most of all, entertaining. One thing for sure, if you weren’t particularly interested in bellydance before seeing this film, after viewing it, you definitely will be.

Friday April 8th 2005: Live with Regis & Kelly
Amar Gamal, Rachel Brice and Ansuya performed on "Live With Regis And Kelly", demonstrating Amercian Cabaret, Raqs Sharqi (Classical Cabaret) and Tribal Fusion styles of bellydance.
