"Sa'diyya
came out in a simple pale galabaya-like dress and did a lyrical and
fluid veil bit. She then tied the veil around her hips for the faster
portion. She did a bit of zar and her hair seemed like a second veil at
times. I would call her piece a modern dance that referenced Middle
Eastern motifs and movements. It takes skill and know-how to do that
well and this dancer had both." -Amy Bonham from Gilded
Serpent, Online Belly Dance Journal
