- Shadows of the Fire from Fayetteville, NC performing at the 2006 East Coast Belly Dance Competition. The music is "Walk Like an Egyptian" by Hakim off the Desert Roses 3" cd. Check out our web site at Shadowsofthefire.com
That's wonderful that you tried to remedy the first dance so you wouldn't offend anyone. Everyone makes mistakes, but only a few care to correct them :). Oh, and I absolutely love your walk like an egyptian dance. The best one I've seen to that song! You all are so talented, and your synchronization is perfect!
I used this dance and song for me and my group in English class today. We had to present the creation story of Egypt and we used this dance in it. Our teacher is a perfectionist and even the honors classes didn't do so well. My group got a 95, the highest of all the grades. Everyone got low 80s. This was our semester exam and I'm soo happy! Thanks soo much for this video! :D
I am a Greek Belly Dancer and I think they did a great Job!!! The costumes were beautiful too.
I have to say, I love your dancing, your choice of music, your costuming.... but even more, I am blown away by your graciousness at some peoples rude comments. Raq on Ladies!
Regardless of the historical inaccuracy and religious tags many associate with this dance, you cannot deny that the dancers are very talented and the dance is very entertaining.
I agree with PinkDiamondGlamour, I would love this mix of this song. It is incredible. Your dancing was also fantastic, the hand and aprm positions, the over-all stage presence... Beautiful!
Art is often lost on simple minds. You all were great! Keep it up!!
I love that u are using a song with english lyrics as apposed to arabic. I've been doing belly dancing for five years and perform in a group at festivals but we have never used music with english lyrics. I love it!
what an awesome combination of dance and modern song...very cool!
As a Greek Belly Dancer, I think they did a great job. Very sassy!
Wonderful performance. The dancers have style. Cheers from California.
These girls have been dancing together a LONG time! It is so wonderful to see how far they have come. Congrats and keep up the fantastic work!
The more I watch this vidoe the more I love it. Great dance ladies.
Even though I hate pharonic style dancing and the song "walk like an egyptian" I have to give you guys credit for your great choreography and the fact that you are so together when performing it. The costumes are also great. You guys must have practiced this a million times!
The opening of this dance is stunning! All of the egyptian poses just look amazing and I kept catching myself saying wow! Lovely lines!
Nicely done - good synchronization and choreography. Congrats on the second place win.
As far as the music goes - sacred music should be beautiful, and beautiful music should be used in further praise. And this dance seems like a good way to praise Goddess' works in this world.
The first song, "Spirit of the Ancestors," is off a CD of music that was specifically written for bellydance. The CD is called Fire Dance, by Omar Faruk Tekbilek and Brian Keane. I'd say if these guys created it to be danced to, there should be no problem...
Thanks for taking the time to comment on our video. This dance is a bellydance fusion piece. Some prefer the more traditional styles that are so awesome to watch. We like the freedom of fusing many dance influences to different styles of music. I find most enjoy our performances. I would be bored with just one or two styles. :-) I hope to see one of your videos. I am sure you are an awesome dancer and I respect your opinion. :-) Happy dancing to you! :-)
Yes..you are too kind! I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed day!
You girls are so inspiring! Beautiful piece!
wonderful dancing!!! beautiful and excellent movements ...what is wrong is the music , dancers are really good!!
It is so nice that you have gone to many of our videos and posted nothing but insults. I notice you just started your membership on utube a few weeks ago. If you don't like what is posted why venture into more of our videos just to be mean. Wow what a nice person you are. Welcome newbie to the utube community. Where even the most inconsiderate people can post thier opinions. I am glad to live in a country that gives us that freedom.
This was phenomenal! They did a very good job!
Ah... I come visit this vid every day... Because it just almost makes my day begin. 8D
Gosh, their wlae dance looks so fun! i wish i could dance like that. amazing.
I loved it.The music,the choreography, and costumes.fabulous!!!!!!!!!
The choreography is wonderful! It looks like so much fun. Good job! I am definitely going to check out your web site.
I thought that this was very well done. It is not as easy as it looks to relax and get all the movements down so smoothly. This has a very nice and fluid flow. Great job!!!
that was totaly perfect...and for all the people commentin' on the lyrics of the intro..they r just dancing and i loved that and they didn't know that its an islamic words so plzzzz stop insulting them and am muslim and egyptian...girls u r sooo cooooool and sorry for any one saying bad words to u..we are waiting for the 1st place
You are correct on the ignorance. The song is called "Spirit of the Ancestors". I read the description of the music which did not express any kind of religious implications on it. We no longer use the intro with the chant in it and have revised it. This is the actual video of the competition though. It was never meant to be disrespectful in any way or manner.
I love egyptian drumming! Even if the dancing is lacking the music is awesome!
You guys rocked for doing this the First time! ^_^ YAY!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. It is a fusion dance. You are entitled to your opinion. :-) I think we do okay since we did place 2nd in the East Coast Belly Dance Competition. Can't wait to check out some of your moves on CZcams. Happy dancing!
thanks for the kind words. :-) Glad to put a smile on your face :-)
Absolutely loved it, brilliant stuff.
excellent job .i enjoyed all aspects of it
wow very artistic. you must have worked very hard on this dance. great job!
what a cute choreography! Great job ladies :D
WOW!!! That was awesome!!!
wow what a great video you ladies did a fantastic job!
What a fun dance! Very impressive staging.
Love it! Thanks for giving me an idea! It was awesome :)) LOVE it !
@shadowsofthefire that shows a lot of integrity! props to you for that...so many people choose to continue disrespecting, but you choose to show cultural sensitivity and that deserves some rep. =)
i really enjoyed the second part - it was so fun!!
If I were a judge i'de give you a 100 out of 10
Good dance! Reminds me of the old pharonic (not sure of the spelling) dances that they did. Great choreography!!! : )
Very nice. as a director I really enjoyed your creative style. Clean lines, great sync & timing, great formation changes, interesting dynamics, nice complimentary costumes..,. Very inovative! If you took second, what did the 1st place contestants do?!? You guys ROCKED, or is that RAK, your piece & I think you deserved 1st :-)
Awesome!!! Great performance!
The beginning comes very nearly to the anciant Egyptian music. The dance is very nice too.
This video is amazing!
I would love to see your version! You are absolutely right about the difficulty in choreographing to this song. But it is such a fun song. Hope to see yours posted soon. :-)
Loved it, thanks for posting.
I like their choreography very well done. I like their costume, is very different from a real belly dancer but is very visual for this kind of performance.'
The people that has a chance to travel the world and see that this world has different and rich cultures. The arabic culture has many to offer, contrarian of politics....
Great job girls! Loved it!
super choreography girls x
Outstanding performance.....
i like this version of 'walk like and egyptain' you know with the intro ^^ great video + dance 5/5
Very creative, I loved your introduction very spiritual.
Chicas un super diez por su trabajo, es creativo, divertido coordinado, me requete encanto ¡¡felicidades!!
Very, very well done ladies.
Lovely dance ladies. You are wonderful.
its belly/booty-dancing, and thats pretty much all that is interesting 4 most of all viewers. and i gotta admit its a n1 piece of choreography
=) Your niceness astounds me. Even with all the mean comments people posted on here about what with the songs... But give yourself a pat on the shoulder because YOU ROCK. =D
*Eats confetti as it comes down*
I'll always come back. I made a comment about an year ago =P Your video STILL lights up my day.
i like their dance moves very much. i want to learn them too.
I love it! Great job!

Great costumes and amazing, intricate choreography!
Hi,

Nice!! Great sync! I like the skirts :))
my daughter saw this video and dance too. thank you so much. my video is " festa das nações adelia - egito"
Very creative choreography!
This is sooooo cool, you are very creative
Wow some people just can't let people have fun. I enjoyed the video. It was fun. Theres no such thing as being perfect when you dance. It suppose to be fun and celebrating. A lot haters wishing they can move like this and show off but can't . and Yes there a bigger things going on in this world then to be mad of a dance video.
thanks for the encouraging words
it's very nicE
that will be our dance in our christmas presentation^^
me encanta, de verdad, un baile original, la música con mucho ritmo y sobre todo me sorprende la coordinación
ENHORABUENA! no me canso de verlo!
very awesome dance!
you gals are really fantastic!
Lovely performance ladies
Love it.
George Vreeland Hill
My favorite!!!
Hey, you guys are really good!
You guys are great. I am into belly dance fusion. I loved your arm movements, your choreography (changing places a lot), humor, your costumes. I love the song! I just downloaded it from itunes. You inspired me to use this song in my next group choreography. Where are you girls from?
Thanks for the wonderful compliment. :-) The intro song is "Spirit of the Ancestors" By Brian Keane& Omar Faruk Tekbilek off the Firedance cd. "Walk Like an Egyptian" by Hakim Band featuring Cleopatra off the Desert Rose 3 cd. :-)
What a nice thing to say. Thanks so much for saying that. :-)
i love the dance
Hi thanks for your nice comment. Unfortunately when we picked the first song it said nothing about any religious implications. We now perform this dance with a intro part without the vocals
@rhealimgalang I'm not sure about where to get the first song, but the second one is available on "Desert Roses, vol. 3" (the "Desert Roses" are/were a second bellydance troupe put together by Miles Copeland, founder of "The Bellydance Superstars." Not sure what happened to the Roses, you never hear of them anymore). The artist is Hakim, featuring Cleopatra. Hakim is pretty much the Elvis of sha'abi music in Egypt. He's phenomenal! :D
Wow!!! ...These girls really know how to "Walk Like an Egyptian". I simply Luv them!
If I ever open a donut shop, I'am going to hire them for the grand opening and invite all the pigs also!
I was your 50 000th view! =)
Love it! Very nice
Very cool chorography!
I love your skirts!!!
am with you
hasbey Allah wa ne'ema al wakil.
beautiful dance ladies
Thanks for coming back. I feel there should be some balloons and confetti falling for being the 50,000 viewer. :-)
Superb dance to a superb tune! Well done ladies!
As for the complaints, hey, get a life!
Hi,
The slow song at the very beginning is a song called "Spirit of the ancestors " off the Fire dance cd by Brian Keane. I did shorten that song though.
Then the Walk like and egyptian song is off the Desert Roses 3 cd and is by Hakim. :-)
