From level 2 homeworks are easier.

4) Follow Amora advises and correct your errors as soon as possible.

You can install it on your phone, to watch videos from Golden BellyDancers, I will be selecting the high quality BellyDancers that people should watch, to help in my way to clean up this bad reputation.

I will include bellydancers from all times, but I will only accept the good ones, the ones that are pure quality dancing (not sexy) and the ones that also dress properly. I also give you the chance to rate the application, but please, don't forget that I am starting, and the App. is getting updated very often.

It's very easy to use, very basic, as the only info that comes is the names of the dancers, and once you have clicked their names, you enter to another link where scrolling down you will find the videos of that dancer.

Hind Rostom Biography

Hind Rostom (Arabic: هند رستم‎‎; November 12, 1926 – August 8, 2011) was one of the great icons in the golden era of Egyptian cinema. Her physical appearance earned her the name "Marilyn Monroe of Arabia". Born into an aristocratic Egyptian Turko-Circassian family, Hind Rostom starred in more than 80 movies throughout her career.

Rostom was born in the neighborhood of Moharram Bey, Alexandria, Egypt on November 12, 1929 to a middle-class Egyptian father of Turkish origin and an aristocratic mother. She started her career at the age of 16 with the film Azhaar wa Ashwak (Flowers and Thorns). Her first true success was in 1955 when the famous director Hassan Al Imam offered her a role in Banat el Lail (Women of the Night). Her famous films include Ibn Hamidu in 1957, Youssef Chahine's Bab El Hadid (Railway Station) with Farid Shawki in 1958, Salah Abu Seif's La Anam (Sleepless) with Faten Hamama, Omar Sharif, and Rushdy Abaza in 1958, Sira' fi al-Nil (Struggle in the Nile) with Omar Sharif and Rushdy Abaza in 1959, and Chafika el Koptia (Chafika the Coptic Girl) in 1963. Rostom was known as the queen of seduction in Egyptian cinema, and the "Marilyn Monroe of the East". She decided to retire acting in 1979 because she wanted the audience to remember her at her best.
Rostom once more turned down an offer of one million gineih (Egyptian pounds) for her biography in December 2002. The offer was made by an Egyptian satellite channel to portray her life as a drama series. She was asked to submit a complete history of her past achievements, and work experiences with prominent actors of the past, such as Farid Shawki, Faten Hamama, Yousif Shahin, Shukri Sarhan, and Shadia. The actress stated that she refused to sell her life as a means of entertainment and felt that her personal life was of her concern and no one else. Rostom made a statement when she turned down belly dancer Fifi Abdo's invitation to attend a party held in Hind Rostom's honour.
At the age of 81, Hind Rostom died on August 8, 2011, due to a heart attack after being hospitalised for a few hours in Mohandesseen, Cairo.

Help Amora Shams to rise the money she needs to
 Clean Up the bad reputation that BellyDancers have in Egypt!

Nowadays to be a BellyDancer in Egypt is very bad reputation, because most of Egyptians can not go to watch live dancing the famous BellyDancers, so they go to watch the less famous bellydancers, and those are performing in clubs and also in weddings.

Regarding this, Prof. Amora Shams had an interview with USA Today, and the journalist published in the newspaper just an Amora Shams comment about the bad reputation of all BellyDancers in Egypt, read the article here:

  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/08/27/egypt-belly-dancing/14437739/ 

For an Egyptian to bring a BellyDancer to their wedding, brings good luck, therefore they bring who they can afford. 

Watch this documentary to understand why Egyptians lost their respect towards BellyDancers and why in Egypt nowadays to say that you are a BellyDancer is like saying you are a prostitute:




Amora Shams has created an Android Mobile Application known as 
Golden BellyDancers
that is fr sharing with the World the Egyptian Golden Age BellyDancers
so like this she can start helping to develop this project
share the application with your friends to change the bad image that bellydancers have towards the Egyptians. 


Tahiya Karioka biography

Her name in Arabic: تحية كاريوكا‎)  also Tahiya Mohamed (born as: Badaweya Mohamed Kareem Al Nirani), (February 22, 1915 – September 20, 1999) was an Egyptian belly dancer and film actress.
Born in the Egyptian town of Ismaïlia to Mohamed Kareem, Tahiya was discouraged from performing as a dancer by her family. Due to family differences that could not be settled with her father and brothers, she moved to Cairo to stay with an old neighbour, Suad Mahasen, a night club owner and an artist. Tahiya had asked several times for employment in Suad's nightclub but Suad refused to employ her due to the disreputability of working at a night club. However, many of Suad's associates and friends became acquainted with Tahiya through various visits to Suad's home. They all advised Suad to add her to one of the shows as a chorus girl but still she refused. Soon, Tahiya was mentioned to Badia Masabni, the owner of Casino Opera, one of the most prominent nightclubs of the time. Badia offered a position in her troupe to Tahiya. Tahiya accepted and was given the stage name Tahiya Mohamed. She soon began gaining popularity as a solo dancer and as she became more experienced she learned a popular Samba dance from Brasil at the time called the Karioka. After that she became known as Tahiya Karioca. Tahiya began starring in movies during what is dubbed as the Egyptian film industry's "Golden Age". She was a talented dancer, singer, and actress. In 1972, the film “Watch out for Zouzou”, starring Soad Hosni with Tahiya performing the supporting role, was released to become the biggest box- office hit in Egyptian cinema to date!.
Tahiya was married 14 times; among her husbands were actor Rushdy Abaza and playwright Fayez Halawa. Tahiya was unable to conceive any children of her own and hence adopted a daughter (Atiyat Allah). Tahiya also was very involved with her sibling's children. Tahiya later moved to London.
Tahyia died of a heart attack on September 20th, 1999, aged 84.
