This is clip of a wonderful belly dancer in the Rom style. The video was filmed at the Herdelejzi Festival in Sebastopol, CA in May, 2007. Each movement she makes with her arms has a meaning, but I only know one. According to my Romani informants, when she puts her arms out straight and bangs her two fists together, this means, "may your enemies explode." I love the look of joy on her face as she dances and I heard her called "Liz." The little girl in the video I think is her daughter.
