Arabian Belly Dancers –
Give Me a Ménagerie of Song and Dance !
My memory goes back to a time, where I Dream of Jeannie an American sitcom with a fantasy premise. The show starred Barbara Eden as a 2,000-year-old genie, and Larry Hagman as an astronaut who becomes her master, with whom she falls in love and eventually marries.
And, in the “real” world we discover some good although not classical belly dancing. However, as seen below, one can find a beautiful woman in superb physical condition with great abdominal muscles, and who is also extremely flexible with a superb sense of balance.

Santana ~ Belly Dance to Black Magic Woman
Santana plays Black Magic Woman dubbed over a video of Alla Kushnir (Liela) as she dances a beautiful and mesmerizing belly dance. The video was filmed in 2006 at the City festival in Nikolaev, Ukraine where she was named Miss Belly Dance of Europe 2008, winner of Ukranian Belly Dance Championship 2007 and 2008 and runner up in a few others.
“Black Magic Woman” is a song written by Peter Green that first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1968, subsequently appearing on the 1969 Fleetwood Mac compilation albums English Rose (US) and The Pious Bird of Good Omen (UK). It became a classic hit by Santana and sung by Gregg Rolie in 1970, reaching #4 in the U.S. and Canadian charts, after appearing on their Abraxas album. The song became more closely associated with Santana than Fleetwood Mac.
