Egyptian Dancer by Joanne Olivieri
I first saw Samar Nassar perform at the re-opening of the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. I was spellbound by her performance and wrote this poem as a tribute to Samar. She owns and operates a dance studio in Berekely. You can visit her website at www.myhipline.com Egyptian Dancer She displays her feminine wiles this modern day Nefertiti, the bedazzled queen like a brilliant jewel. A precision cut gem tantalizing, beguiling a sensual narcotic. She's a shimmering beauty whose depth is not seen yet celebrates women - splendours of the ancient world through dance and tells a story all her own.
