So far, our Legends of Belly Dance have been mainly classic Egyptian dancers with a few modern legends thrown in for good measure (because those are the dancers I know the best), but it’s only fair to cover the best dancers from other countries and styles.
Nesrin Topkapi was one of the biggest Turkish dancers of the 1970s and 80s, and became the first dancer to perform on a Turkish TV show. She is famous for her grace and elegance, and performs a style she calls Oriental rather than purely Turkish.
Nesrin became very popular in Germany and in the 1990s she set up a school of Oriental dance there, and continues to teach in Turkey and Germany.
