It’s time again for my periodic “Who Is This Belly Dancer?” thread. Full disclosure: I am a woman. If I could choose to look like anyone in the world, I would want to look like this woman. Also, the music for this dance rocks hard, if you are into this kind of thing. Does anybody know who perpetrated this awesome crime against all that is puritanical and sucky?

No idea but I seem to remember your previous threads and I agree that she is very good and very attractive’ the music is so-so IMO.

Well, the earliest version of this video I’ve been able to find is [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKWelQqfcpw). The comments seem to suggest she’s Tajik (and other versions of this video I’ve found tend to agree.)
