2008 Diary notes - talent show
2007 - Bellydance talent show on Lebanese satellite channel LBC
Hizi Ya Nawaem 2, the second edition of the World Bellydance Championship, started on Lebanese satellite channel LBC on 11th October 2008 and ended on 11th December with the victory of Lebanese belly dancer Makali.
Hizi Ya Nawaem (or World Bellydance Championship) is a reality talent show, just like the ones we have
grown accustomed to in the last few years, featuring this time belly dancers from all over the world.
The contestants are 12 belly dancers, who perform week after week following a different theme every
week. This year’s themes included things such as ’Dancing the Saidi style with a baton,
'Modernized Belly dancing' and 'Dancing
with accessories'.
The contestant belly dancers are judged by a panel of experts, which this year included Najwa Fouad, Simon Asmar, Zaza Hassan and Nadra Assaf.
The World Bellydance Championship is a hard competition, during which the contestant belly dancers have to train for 8 weeks and perform in 9 primes and, just like in every other talent show, contestants are eliminated every week until the best wins.
